Not convinced I want more HP than the SV or 300/400 class bikes.
For a pre-prepped bike I prioritize suspension over all the other upgrades.
Not chasing every % point of HP but do want predictable handling.
I'm going to put the 300 for sale. Its a pretty bike!

I've got a friend that raced a SV for years (1st gen - carbed) and recently sold it to buy a R3 for the track.
He's an experienced competitor, and says the smaller R3 is just more fun on the track.
I have a couple SV street bikes, but if I were heading to the track I might go with something smaller. I'd check out the race class structure, number of entrants, and what is available already set-up. You may decide racing is more fun than trackdays, and you wouldn't want to have to switch everything up to compete. Sometimes at the end of the season the top guys decide to move on, and sell their bikes, so look for deals on smaller race bikes around then.
