I have nothing to add about the tires but I like my BTs.

On another note, if you don't want to pony up money for a track bike try hooking up with someone and do the 3 hour endurance race where you'd share a bike and the cost.

Doing the sprint races will put you in the hole quickly, even with a little series like this.

Where do they call their home track? Thinking about getting into some schools this spring/ summer if work isn't too crazy. I'd probably take the CBR though.

Sorry, I'm not PC. But I believe Moto Series is the old Fasttraxx. So Nelson Ledges in Garrettsville would be the "home" track.

*EDIT* - and if a wider tire is available that would fit like the Avon note says, what is a better tire size for a track day???? Tire size noob here.

My old GS1000 runs skinny bias/ply and tubes. I've run several pairs of the Sport Demon's and they were terrific. Always V-rated even though I never go over 80. After enjoying Avon Storm 2's on my CBR, I switched to Avon Roadriders' on my old Suzuki. Every bit as good as the Sport Demons, but even better for wear. I have 4k on them now and they look brand new. And I carve a ton of roads. And on wet roads or sand, the Avon Rr's are just spectacular.
