I agree
I was very excited about my new skills and proud to learn so fast, but I know that my humble Monster is still a whole lot better than me. I need to stay concentrated and work on my rhythm, breaking points, riding position, viewing and so on .... After all it was my first track day and I don't expect to reach the bike's or my limits quite yet
There's also a safety perspective about doing track days - when I hit the backroads now, I know that I won't/can't/shouldn't push to the limits like I will be able to on the track. My riding is probably as fast as before, but everything happens with a higher degree of confidence, better flow and more relaxation.
Pictures? 
I know I won't
Money
Could very well trade the Monster for a 916/996, but with the riding I do these days a SuperBike would be wrong. I think it would be boring 95% of the time, at least if I want to keep my license. When/if the time comes and I can afford it, I think I'll go for a dedicated track bike and keep the Monster. You see, we pay about a 100% luxury tax on street legal bikes here (plus 25% VAT)(my S2R 800 was US$ 19,000) Dedicated track bikes are cheap compared to that, "only" the 25% VAT.
Well, as you see, I've already started thinking about the next step
For now, I'm happy with things as they are, but we're allowed dreams, right? [moto]
starting thread in few on my first track day on the Monster!! What a BLAST and going back to Jennings July 4th-anyone else wanna join us there?!
Oh and +1 gazillion on the SV! We bought one as dedicated track bike, but have to SHARE it for time being until hubbi moves up finally. I was supposed to get a turn on the SV at the track, but second half of day got rained out damn it. May need another SV for me on track now also, cuz def held back with Monster out there
