I haven't taken the 250 to the track yet. I think that it could be fun at a track like Infineon, where you're on the edge of the tire for 90% of the lap, the speeds are generally lower, and hp isn't as much of a factor. At Thunderhill I think it would be a challenge on the 250, at least when grouped with bikes of all types and sizes (compared to racing in a 250 class, for example). The videos make it hard to judge speed, but on the front straight on the 10R I'm nudging 160 mph, and on the back straight a bit over 130 mph (both indicated, so actual speeds are a bit less). And I'm a slowpoke in that crowd.
There were 2 250's in the same group this past day, and the closing speeds are sometimes 40+ mph or more, which can be unnerving for both the passer and the passee. I think the 250 would be fun at the Streets of Willow, but probably not the Big Track there, and it might be fun at Laguna as well.
