Track Bikes and Track Photos

We don't seem to have an area for track related stuff, and I see cool pics in various other threads, so I thought I would start this.

I'll start it off.

Did a couple track days on my R12S and decided I needed a dedicated track bike. So I got this about a year and a half ago.



Pretty huh, well it was used, but looked good.

Then I took it to the track and it looked like this.






That was a bad day, but I was fine.

So I got some bodywork from roger, and hard parts on ebay, and in no time it looked like this.



Note the GSXR on the trailer, that is my friend Tim's, he is pretty fast, and low sided that day. There is a pretty cool video of it somewhere, I will try to find it and post it. There is video of my crash too, I am sure Bill will post that.

Anyway, a track bike just sits around the shop when it is not street legal, so I decided to make it legal so I can ride it to work, tail light and blinkers was easy, but I wanted a headlight also.

I mounted an Infinity projector housing to the fairing stay bracket, and then cut a hole in the fairing, did some fiberglass work, and now I have a street legal track bike.












Then, I do some bodywork, and paint it a couple times, add mirrors, blinkers, etc.

I have this my street legal track bike.






I know this is not an S BMW, but I think a lot of you guys have other brands of bikes, especially for the track.

let's see your track bike.
