After my first time i went and bought a track bike straight away.. havent looked back since.. The buzz is amazing and the experiance really benafits your road handling skills.. If you own a sports bike, tracks are what they are made for.. Have fun burnin rubber dudes.. I started track days last year..

Minimum protection would be: full face helmet back protector a two piece zip together motorcycle suite motorcycle boots and gloves Sunglasses or a tinted visor is also nice to have. Leather gear is your friend, but textile will do when you're a beginner. Don't worry about knee pads and that sort of thing, you wont need them just yet. Ride safe, have fun, and let us know how things work out. Hey, Luis.

What is the minimum protection / riding gear you would recommend for safety? By the way, I also come form a 650, a Honda Transalp that worked great. But the Hornet´s handling and power is a different story. I´d rather learn its limits on the track that on the road. I´ve had a Hornet for 3 months, and would like to try a track day.

I've seen a couple of people on cruiser bikes at track days, but they are far between. You will most likely start scraping pegs, exhaust and side-stand after a few laps. So there's a natural limit on how fast you can go. But that doesn't mean it can't be fun. Hope you'll have a good time. Cheers, Jesper Have a go at it, Vinod, and feel how it is.
