Suppose you're thinking to replace your ninjette. You want a bike that's bigger, more comfortable and stable for highway commuting, I4 preferably (for smoothness), but still fun and capable at intro track days.

Okay, now you're me, and here are a couple choices:

1) 08-09 GSX 650F, well cared for and in good shape. $3600-4200, so could pay cash for them. Given that, I'd take it to the track a few times before the season's up.

2) 13 FZ6R: $7045 OTD, so I'd finance half of it. Wouldn't take a brand new bike (with a lien) to the track, so she'd be street-duty only until next season.

Opinions? Votes? Of course, I'm gonna' do whatever I want anyway, but it's a fun game to play, so let's hear your thoughts!
