Why not just add D675 rearsets and clip on's if you want the more sporty position.

With the Daytona rearsets and the -10 Rizoma risers (they also move it a bit forward) I found the best overall position for me on the track and street. A little compromise but not enough that I don't have fun and control for both. I also upgraded the suspension but I would have wanted that on the Daytona too.

You already have a great base to work with and allot can be done, a few changes rather than a whole new bike might serve you well.

And no bodywork to crack up, spend enough time at the track and it will happen

.

 

My 2 cents

If you want to be a regular trackday bunny and your local is a faster circuit the lack of fairings and that riding position are not conducive to long high speed straights.

All depends what you want to do most, I feel too big on a Daytona 675 which is why I have the bigger 955.

 

I reckon you better off spending the money on some training.

One of the most amazing things a saw was a guy on a Motard keeping up with the front of the fast group on the track (Philip Island). He had just finished day 3 of the California Super Bike School. He could ride and it was amazing to see.

The worst riders to be around on the track are the ones that gun it down the straight and then you get stuck behind them as they potter around turn one, take off again and then you get them on the next corner.

 

Definitely spend the money on schools. Even a standard Street is more then capable of running in A group with a capable rider.

 

Cheers guys, maybe I am being a bit impetuous, lots to do to my bike if & when needed.

 

Keep the street triple

Hi Crash, I have a street triple R and I have had it around the race track, it is right at home on the track. I back up the others, improving your riding skills will make you much faster and safer. I still have my old Yamaha YZF600 from 1995 and use it as a track bike now. It is fun to ride around the outside of some rich wanker on his brand new fireblade with matching leathers.
Also, comparing Daytona vs street triple think of the advantages of your bike. I much prefer the wider handlebars because apart from being more comfortable, you have much more leverage when steering. Also, you may have less top end power but you have much more grunt under 10k revs, you should be able to get better drive out of the corners. And most import, I doubt you will have more fun on the Daytona. If you get seriously hooked on track days, consider an old bike just for track days. I used to have an old Suzuki RGV250, heaps of fun, easy to get you knee down on and as I said my old Yammy is still very quick despite its age, relatively crude suspension, brakes and lack of horsepower ( less than 100 hp). Remember, its all about having fun!

 

Don't forget complete slider protection; two point frame sliders, crankcase protection, and axle sliders. A quality aftermarket shock and fork spring/valving combo is a lot cheaper than a new Daytona. - Wayne

 

Hey Crash, i tracked my Streety for a few years and ,yes it is a great little bike and i can relate to your daytona cravings. I ended up buying a D675 trackbike, all set up and ready to race. This was the best thing i could have done as my lap times dropped from the first day i rode it. The Daytona smashes the Street on track in everyway so don't let anyone tell you it won't .
Forget clip ons and race rearsets on your Street , it's fine as it is and personaly i loved flapping my arms around in the wind. So if you want to go faster and be more comfortable doing it, get a Daytona. My 2cents.

 

Tongie, you purchased a track prepped D675 after a few years of having your Street Triple on the track. Good advice, he should learn to ride on the track first then when he develops enough skill and knows he wants to continue (not after his first track day) jump in with a more purpose built rig.

.

 

Yes ,that's correct. I developed my skills on the Street to the point where i was going to crash the bike if i pushed harder. I did all of this on a pretty much stock bike. Correct suspension set up is a must, soft rubber is a must,crash protection is a must ,GB kit for me. Go and get out there

 

It sure can be used on the track =)

 

buy a track bike.
keep your street triple for the street.
eventually, you will lay down your track bike...then you'll have to put it back together.

though the street triple is a great track bike. (same chasis and motor as daytona), its a smaller market for these bikes and building them back is not cheap.


Gsxr600, R6 or CBr600rr
anything 07 + is a weapon at the race track and plenty of cheap parts going around.

also, you will easily find the above three in track trim with some work done.
You don't need anymore than a 600cc bike for the track as a beginner, once you get to expert level, then you may look at advancing if you want...

but as you experienced, going to a trackday is about having fun and 600cc is more fun vs 1000cc...any day.

 

That was the advice I took when I got back to riding last year. Now 6months later, I've yet to put the gixxer 600 through a single track day. I've paid for a TD tomorrow (Sat) but now it looks ready to be rained out.

I'm beginning to rethink this dedicated track bunny thing. Unless I can run a lot of TD a year, it just isn't worth the garage space and upkeep of yet another bike. I am liking the idea of having a Streety for a weekend funster that'll be good for occasional track days. It would have been an easy decision if the Streety R came with full Ohlins (like Speedy R and Daytona R). I know TTX36 is a bolt on, but can somebody tell me if the NIX30 can be easily swapped into the Streety?

And if the nekkid chassis is ever a concern, I can't imagine fitting a set of Daynota race fairings on the Streety would be too difficult.

 

Yes the Ohlins cartridge kits will work for the standard or R Street.

 

I'm asking because I don't know, not to be a smart ass which might surprise you

If the Ohlins cartridges can be installed in the standard Street Triple tubes how is the compression circuit/adjustment handled ?

.

 

Perfectly reasonable question. The Ohlins cartridges for the 675s have damping and compression separated so one cartridge handles compression and the other rebound. The cartridges also replace the form caps do you have an adjuster on the top of each accordingly.

 

Thank you sir. I knew they had a set up like that on the 30mm superbike cartridges but was unaware it was offered for the 25mm road and track units as well. I understand it works really well and should be a great option for the standard forks.

Appreciate the heads up
