FWIW, my trackbike will be a 600cc bike

If you can't tell by now, I really like the flowing lines of older bikes; I care not for the folded-origami-sharp edge look of the newer stuff. I also like simple...I like stuff I can work on myself without a hundred special tools and a laptop...I like to be able to see where the plugs are.........

Im pretty sure I can take apart my entire bike with the tool kit under my rear seat...Bikes are still very simple to work on...Even the Fuel Infucted Ones.

Well it certainly isnt as complicated as all the new cars and trucks nowadays...If that was my basis on buying a new bike Then thats just fucking silly
