They clearly give birth to a mutant love child.
Last night I went to see, and ultimately bought, a 2004 Kawasaki ZX-6R track bike. The bike was previously owned by a regional racer who will be upgrading to a more recent bike. Knowing the history of this bike, along with it having a handful of track relevant upgrades (suspension, brakes, steering) made this a pretty good deal.
I'm hoping to do 2-3 track days each season, starting next Spring. Having done Fast Phase 1 several years ago, this should be a nice way to get back into track riding. I'll just have to figure out how to transport this thing to the track ... but hey, I got all winter for that.
Now for the pictures...
