GS500 race/track bike - the fast way around the track

[Roadstergal]

If you mean it, I'll hang onto it.  I'm not in a hurry to sell, and I'd rather see it sell as a whole.

How hard would it be to convert this back into a street bike?

(Forgive my ignorance!)

I was thinking the same thing. Because that's a steal. In NH it would be tough. I hear that in California there is no inspection so you need lights and signals and probably that's it, but I wonder if it is worth it, as it is a track bike and it would be a shame and the wrong compromises for a street bike.

I still can't get over how cheap it is to race bikes, I used to race a sports car and that seems to cost a lot more money.

sports car? by that do you mean street cars called sports cars, or did you race closed-wheel purpose built sports cars? because then thats sick!! SRF? F500? FSCCA?

Doing track days on bikes are almost as cheap as autocrossing.. and MUCH more seat time

[intergalactic]

Nope, converted street cars, basically relegated to trailer queen status. Mine had plates but that was only for cheap quasi legal transport to the track. Even that is expensive enough.

P.S. sorry for the threadjack!

Guilty of threadjacking myself, so I can hardly complain.   I'm not sure what it would take, and I don't want to give bad information.

Ja, bike racing is way, way cheaper than car racing.  Even just car tracking.  I used to track cars, and my hubby used to race cars semi-professionally, but we've both gone to racing bikes instead because the bike, upkeep, and race entry costs are so much lower.  The bang-for-buck factor is startlingly high - as is what you learn.  I found that increasing my skill set on a moto involved pushing my comfort level, and being in that competitive situation made me push myself like just riding track days didn't.

You haven't ridden on the track until you've ridden a bike that is set up right for the track.

Price adjust.
