"Speed is just a question of money..... How fast do you want to go?"

crash guards/steering stabilizer/gud tars/SS brake line(or better front end)/ shock  not much
engine work..... how much you got?
if you are going to spend greater than 2k....buy a used 600 SS racer

what i really want is an sv650

but i have no money to buy one

your current gs (or whatever bike) has a trackbike engine, provided it's running and not leaking anything. you don't care about having 200HP, you care about saving your skin in a crash.

ANY BIKE can be a track bike. all you have to do is pay pay pay. the bike can be left stock, aside some safety wiring, tape, and whatever regulations the track has for fluids n stuff.

ANY BIKE can be a track bike.

And the cheaper, the better.

Spend money on the suspension and brakes before the engine.  That's where a GS will make time.

any suggestions on the suspensions?

and brakes

oh yeah i need new tires first haha i feel mine slipping a little when i make sharp turns

what i really want is to go faster not really use on the track lol (i would go on track don't get me wrong but there aren't any in Charleston, SC) =(

but yeah i'd def. want better handling if ya'll have any good sets up let me know

i know ppl have done katana and sv rear shocks and katana front ends and maybe some old GSXR front front ends?

[Mdow]

kat front end isn't to hard.
gsxr rear shock isn't bad eather

mich pilot power tires are sweet. and don't listen to that 3k mile crap i have about 2.5k on mine and they look new still

i was told to exspect less then 3k miles on them pishhhh im exspecting 5-6k now granted i don't ride the bike super hard all the time i was exspecting to get a flat spot in the center but they just don't wear out on a 300 pound bike
