I rode a TT600 on the track for about four years. It is an outstanding track bike. If you are just doing trackdays and it doesn't matter if you have the lowest laptimes and highest power, then it is about perfect. They handle well, have enough power but not enough torque to get you into excessive trouble if you are ham fisted, and the brakes are good enough as long as you keep after the pads and keep them bled. They are reasonably adjustable, and the only major weakness I can think of is the vulnerable stator cover. If you crash, the stator cover will likely break or grind through, and there are very few aftermarket armor sources. I haven't seen a carbon cover for them for a number of years. For what its worth, I had a great time on my TT600 going roasting around people I had no business keeping up with, since its handling was so confidence inspiring.
