Looking at the bike listing on your profile snippet, that GSXR should be very well sorted right out of the box. Assuming you've got decent rubber, it's going to be WAY beyond your capacity as a rider to exceed the limits of that bike if you don't just barrel in headlong. For the trackday I mentioned previously, I was there to hang out with some friends and be there for one's first trackday. She mentioned that it felt like she was leaned waaaay over and was hanging way off... which you can see from the pictures that she wasn't. She was just fine with that, as she wasn't out to prove anything. She's a RiderCoach, and was finally getting to the track after saying she was going to go for years. She wanted to go before she turned [age redacted], but couldn't make it... She learned a lot about her personal comfort zone, didn't crash, and had a great time.
