Ok so im 5’9 170lbs, 19 years old I live in miami florida. I just got enough time between work and school where I can have a hobby. Ive been wanting a gsxr or any modern 600 streetbike really. I dont plan on going pro or anything just maybe train a bit at a racing school and race at some ama an ccs events for amateurs to win a couple of trophies and just have fun really. I live pretty close to the homestead speedway and have been to moroso a bunch of times to watch drag races.Should i go with a 06+ gsxr or an older one (04-5) everyone tells me to get an older one so i can save money bc it will most likely fall since it is my 1st bike. What do you think? Will a 04-5 600 bike be good enough to race? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
04 Gixer ?
No mates, that 6 years old now, it will be 7 years old when you start racing it.
If you want to win, get a new bike.
If its 24 months old , forget it.
Good luck pal, hope you get good results.

If you’ve never ridden, much less raced I think you’re setting yourself up for a fall. A 250 will get you into racing. Cheaper to buy, crash and maintain. You’ll just kill yourself on a GSX without ANY riding experience.
FYI, regardless how little money you spend, you will eventually fall on the track.
