Yep, I'll still go out on the 300 to coach if anyone wants coaching on a little bike (250-300-r3-390-650) but on the broad spectrum of coaching the 300 limits you quite a bit. It's a perfect race bike, great track day bike, not so great coaching bike.

currently looking into getting an sv650 (doesn't quite fit the bill but I can afford the tire bills to use it to race as well) R6, zx6r, gsxr 600, gsxr 1000, zx10r and a few others.

One other interesting feature that I want on the bike is mirrors. Looking backwards is so much more difficult than I ever imagined and mirrors would help alleviate the need to do so since I could confirm with a glance that the rider is still right behind me
