as far as racing it on a road course yes i wouldn't bother, but a track day isn't a race so there really is no wrong bike, i've been out there with guys on ninja 250's, moto guzzi's, and even a honda valkyrie, the famous nick slick takes his busa to track days, just tell him to ride at a pace he's comfortable with and just remember he might not be able to hang through the tight stuff with a equal or better rider on a real superbike, but theres always someone slower and i'm sure with some time he could embarress alot of guys that would otherwise laugh at a busa getting on the track, its more fun that way too everyone expects you to be faster than you probably are on a 600 or 1000

the pipe looks kind of odd though, any idea what it is?

eh, whenever the weather is good. Ive been riding here and there lately sorta just down jefferson and back. Havnt had the chance to get out on a good 60+ day yet that hasnt rained on me. It was looking promising me for Sunday. I checked yesterday and it said 63 degree's and sunny. I just checked now and they are calling for rain and 54. Plus also i just remembered as im typing this that Sunday is easter sunday anyway.

So i guess the answer to your question is...

well, whenever this weather stop's being gay. This is driving me nuts.

bikes will never outhandle a car in the corners.....

cars cant accelerate as hard, but will go faster on top end than a bike {better aerodynamics, bikes have a HUGE frontal area} and uhh yeah...

even a stock busa will run a 9.90 in the 1/4 with the propper rider.

so maybe a zx10 is "faster" but is it? maybe its just quicker... anyhow. who ever is the better rider, reguardless of bike is going to win, 9 times out of 10.
