    What will it cost ya if you throw their bike into a ball of fire (not saying it will happen, but...)? If nothing, do it. If they charge you for a ruined bike, get your own. Would suck having to pay for a bike you don't own.

    Just called and got the low down - $450 for the rental of the bike and all gear (sans helmet - although you can add it at additional cost) plus $100 non refundable deductible. I you go down its $350 that's it. Not too bad. Worst case scenario I spend $900...best case $550 and no worries of wadding my bike and can test the waters.

    I'll play devil's advocate. According to my research, you can buy an SV650 for $3,300, race it for two years, then sell it for $3,400 on the WERA Classifieds.

    If you do get bit by the track bug, you'll find that your GSXR rarely gets ridden.

    I still think you buy yourself a trackbike. Even renting a bike you're dumping a lot of money that could be put towards a trackbike instead.

    Also, make sure you have good health insurance and a way to get home in case you smash yourself up and can't drive.

    Good points here!! 2 SV's one for street and one for racing is a great idea.
