Decisions

So I am well and truly bitten by the bug. Wasn't trying but ever so lightly got knee down yesterday.

I have the 2014 SE ABS and an 09 650 Versys. The choice is:

Sell the 300 and keep the versys, a better all round bike for me with bags and long legs for longer trips. Then buy a true track bike.

Sell the versys and keep the 300 relatively stock (a more grins per mile bike), and buy a track bike.

Keep both and fully track the ninja.
I''m not loving swapping parts on and off and such, so a dedicated track bike makes sense.

I got irritated yesterday when I was begging the baby ninja to go faster but also loved how I could focus on my skills so not sure if I want much more bike.

So question for the group is, premade ninja track bike? seems much cheaper. I've found a few nice ones.

Odds of out growing the ninja in 1 season?
Is it a shame to tear up a pretty SE edition?
Will a slight upgrade to KTM 390 be a noticeable step up?
The performance delta between 300 and 600 seems a huge jump I'm not sure I want to take.

TLDR: I'm allowed 2 bikes. 1 track, one street. What to do?!
If I decide to build the 300 I'll have tons of build questions :P
