Always start a good debate.

You know you wish you started out on bikes and got into racing on 2 wheels :tongue
Lighter is better, I think bikes win in that category.

Laptimes/speed are better, cars win in that category.
If there was a good place to race bikes around here, I’d be racing bikes too.

Cheaper and easier to transport/maintain/race/buy/modify/insure and more.
You can justify to travel a little bit further each race.

Not days off of work to travel 10-20 hours for a decent track/race.
I’ll start researching again when I move. I cant give up cars completely. Lateral and braking g’s \> all.

I wouldnt say its cheaper to insure a 600cc+ Race bike than it is a car. I got a quote for a gsxr600 and it was almost $2000 every 6 months!!

Have you gotten an insurance quote on full coverage with an appraised value of $25K + car that actually covers timed events?
Plus I have a feeling you didn’t have any prior riding experience to put down, and you didn’t shop around either.
New riders are expected to pay ~1000$ a year.

Every ins co ive talked to has said ANY damage done at any race track will not be covered by them(side note, saw a guy in a viper hit the wall at LVD in 3rd…ouch$$$). I didnt do a ton of calling around for quotes, but got about 3 ins co’s and said fuck it.

_Most_ insurance’s would cover track _days_. IE non timed events when no trophy’s are involved.
However getting actual racing coverage is more tricky.

You guys are talking like I’d actually insure whatever race bike I got. Or drive it anywhere near a road.
My freaking CAR isnt insured.

You thought it was ugly?
Gtfo :eek3
It’s not “pretty” by any standards but neither is an Atom or Radical or even Trex, they all have their beauty in the aspect of being a novelty.

Storage, transport, and paddock insurance. 😉 Just no road insurance for obvious reasons.
