Track day question.

At track days is it just like Busas, RRs, SV650s and the like?

Or do people bring smaller bikes like 500cc or even 250s?

Track days are usually broken up into three classes based on rider ability and/or bike size. I have seen a huge variation of bikes show up on any particular day but my favourite would have been a bloke on an HD with the largest set of ape hangers I have ever seen blasting round the track.
The more full on riders tend to show up with trailered sportsbikes shod with slicks but the majority seem to show up on bikes they ride every day. I know I do.

My bud rides his Hawk 650 GT on all track days. Not very powerful, but very fun. You should be fine on any ride (well...MOST any ride!)

depends on the track too or the org that organizes the trackday you'll attend. IIRC, i read some that doesn't allow bikes that are too slow.

but i'd love to see a vid of that guy in HD w/ huge ape hangers on the track. :D
