any other ideas? Thanks.
Sounds like you are trying to get into too many things all at once--all of this is very subjective
and based on personal taste. A comfortable street bike with a little bit more fork rake or even risers
would be incompatible with track racing. . .vice versa. . .that said I really liked the khs flite 100 I rode one
day. . .didn't get one but I liked it and could see riding it on the street. . .don't know much about what works at the track . . .
