I'm not sure that crashing on the street is any less demanding on your gear than crashing on the track. In fact it looks to me to be just the opposite, lots more things to hit after a get off on the street. Most of the crashes on the track are at relatively slow speeds in the corners where there's not much to hit other than the track or dirt.
That said, unless you need the latest gear, think about picking up some of last year's models, most online places discount to make room for the new stuff.
