Small bike recommendations
Over the decades I tracked a SV650, TL1000R, 919, and a GSXR750 and then when I got a deal on a RSV4 fourteen years ago it’s been my track bike.
Yesterday went to an event at a smaller, tighter track so I took my wife’s R3. The smaller bike let me work on a number of things that the RSV4 has been a little too much bike to really go for it.
I don’t want to just keep using her bike (would be better if she’d start trying it out on the track herself!), so my question to this group is around small bikes. For example I love my Aprilia and have some fondness for the brand, so am curious about the 457. But I also have and/or do own all four Japanese brands and am fine with all of them.
I weigh 230 lbs so the R3 had its work cut out for it hauling me around, but it performed admirably. I think a little more oomph, but not a ton, would be good (not a ton as I still own the GSXR750 and could just track that if I wanted something only marginally smaller than the RSV4). TIA
