Can you help me pick my street/trackbike?

    What budget?

    I’m looking for the same thing, but at a dumpster fire price so i don’t care if it’s crashed at the track or stolen out of the parking garage at work.

    Thinking F2/3 with dirt bars and a circular headlight, or a naked sv. Needing to find someone who crashed theirs with mainly cosmetic damage and will sell to me for $600

    I can race it a couple of times a year and commute a few times a week.

    Your missing one bike.
    Mine. 2016 BMW s1000rr.
    Best street bike I have ever ridden hands down.
    Comfortable and has everything.
    It's for sale. 13493.jpeg

    I'll pay up to 10K, but for your needs I'd strongly consider the F4, it's a whole lot better if you can find one for a good price

    That is not comfortable.....at our age on the street anyway. :)

    Speaking of missing, where are the rear view mirrors? :confused:

    And don't be trying to get a free ad in the General section. Is it listed in the classifieds? :Poke:

    You think your butt is too high up in the air on a Kawasaki or a few other bikes? Eh...Brandon says it's all relative, and having it higher up is not such a bad thing ;)

    I do that on long enough straights at high speeds , you wont believe how much difference it makes! air flow separation.
    does this mean we should raise our seats that much? :eek::D

    There's a reason that some riders put that extra "pad" towards the rear of the seat to perch up on for long straights.

    I thought that was just so your butt doesn't slide all the way back when you get on the gas on bikes that have too long of a seat :confused:

    Some of them started out like that, but now they have evolved into dual purpose, like this "step" setup that Pedrosa (and many others) use to varying degree:

    Pedrosa could stand up on the bike and no one would know the difference.

    I'm in the OLDER age crowd and its comfortable to me. Some bar risers would definitely fix your issue.

    I have a 2014 Striple and although it’s plenty of bike for the street, I wouldn’t call it “too much”.
