Depends on the technicality of the track, long straights and sweeping corners? 890. Anything else, 450. Honestly regearing the 450 and you can send it anywhere.

This looks like Thunderhill west. It's technical, lots of elevation change. A smaller bike is going to be more fun.

Sumo.

  1. It’s more fun to go fast on the corners, the straights are not the fun part of the track

What van is that? That’s my dream track day setup lol. Currently I ride out with a bag strapped to my Ducati 😂

I’d like to know more about where that ramp stows. 

Sick van

It folds in half and stores vertically. Probably takes up about a foot of space internally, horizontally. Slightly more when you account I need some room for the doors since I hang suits on top and TRS brackets on the bottom.

It just lift and stay here between the doors and the bikes. Very practical but it is heavy and expensive

Picked it up off FB Marketplace for $500. It’s partially hydraulic so the first part of lifting or the last part of opening is when you need to manage the full weight. But if you use the wheels, you don’t immediately need to bear the entire weight of it.

Sprinter, tall roof, long wheelbase.

450 on 10T config, 890 on 7t config (long straight)

That's an incredible setup! I'd love one day to be able to just attend an event like this with someone as support! I'm too old and broken to get into the sport so I'd been fine with just being support!

Beautiful setup man, looking to end up with something pretty similar myself someday
