PM me price and see if he has a weight on it.

Also as an 06’, does it have a blip shifter?

That’s the one modern amenity I MUST have lol
 
Or if you’re really serious about improving your pace…….

wait for it…….

learn how to be fast on a 400 ninja. No joke, get really fast on a slow bike and you will be supersonic on the V4
 
Liter bike lines are different than smaller displacement. But smaller displacement is useful for knowing how to defend your corner entry. To be fast you need to know both. With that said... triumph daytona gets my vote.
 
If you’re set on the Suter, make a phone call and ready a wire. Other than the track you won’t be riding it anywhere (that thing is loud) plus the obvious. After that, order one of these things and put some carbon wheels, Brembos street tires and the HP kit and go nuts.

Yamaha R6 gets my vote here. Crash it all day, parts are easy to get. At 250 pounds I wouldn’t go smaller and you will really learn how to ride on a slower bike as you’ll have to learn to trail brake and carry corner speed well to keep pace.

Worst decision I made was getting rid of my R6, I wish I still had it. Riding the V4 is altogether a different ride and is a bear to handle compared to a 600. The v4 is a fight if you push it hard, which I do, and is exhausting to ride for an entire weekend at the track. Between wheelies and head shake it’s tiring. Not to mention I be tearing through tires too.

I agree with brad8266. Sadly I think the supersport 600 is a dying segment. @brad8266 What do you think about the R7?

I also agree with the earlier statement(s) in this thread about the Japanese bikes being cheaper to fix.

Oh yeah it’s a dying segment for sure. For a track bike the R7 would suck from what I gather about it’s specs. It’s pretty much a mid range power bike. The allure of an R6 is the high revving engine along with the power it made. The R7 is much lower power.

Another awesome lower power bike is the KTM390, I love those, but if you want something you can low side everyday and then find replacement parts from friends at the track get an R6, they are everywhere at every track day.
 
Steven sounds like you want to enter bike world a bit more seriously, forget the Suter unless you want an ornament would be my advice. You're a big guy, get a big bike that fits you, that weeny 2 stroke would be like riding a bicycle and high performance 2 strokes require serious skills unless you want to take regular trips to the moon.

There is no substitute for time on the bike with a bit of training, any reasonable bike will do and preferably one without to much power. R6, GSXR 750, KTM 890, I would even look at a mid sized monster.
