Nothing specific, just nothing ancient or knackered, haven't a large budget and just starting out so pref 600, something between £500-1500 if possible that runs when and as required.
If anyone's willing to donate a rece prepd Daytona 675 or CBR600RR within the budget above I'll gladly write a letter and send a couple of photos every few months to show you what you're sponsoring.
All help appreciated guys..

Ebay is your friend mate…
There's loads of race bikes there or bikes that you can easily turn to a track bike….even if it's only a 400 you can have loads of fun on them (so I've been told)
I've been looking into it myself.
I have my first track day on the 21st May and if I like it, I inted to buy a bike just for track days.

JP you'll love it mate! I did my first day at Cadwell Park last Saturday and it was the best thing I've ever done for fun.
I was toss like, got lapped by a lot of the people in the Novice group, but I feel like my riding ability advanced so much from just being able to forget about traffic and road conditions. I just feel like my bike was holding me back on the straights and I was holding myself back on the bends, and I was constantly concerned about crashing and wrecking my bike.
I'm now planning on selling my bike and just getting a track bike and maybe a cheaper second hand bike to use as transport. Having one day on a track makes up for weeks on the road as far as I'm concerned.
I'll try and get in touch with Big Geordie and see what he wants for it but I'd rather not have to prep any bikes for track use.
