As a race bike it's probably the worst choice. It's going to be severely underpowered.
The current racing class for twins is 650cc, the ER6f & SV are both far more powerful & sports orientated. look at the supertwin class in the IOMTT.
The 500 is a bike designed to fill a specific market slot (EU A2 class, 395-600cc & below 35kW) as cheaply & quickly as possible.
