I need to get over to Chuckwalla, hear nothing but good about it, and also that the fast guys tend to hang around that track.
Bike is already settled on, going with the Yamaha CP3 platform, ideally basing off a 2024 MT-09 as it's got an improved quick shifter setup out of the crate, but they're a bit of a bastard to source. Worst case, any 21+ MT-09 will work, I'm skipping the 24 SP 'cause I don't want to screw around with an immobilizer and I'll be replacing the suspension anyway so to heck with the increased cost. Because it's a Yamaha, and Yamaha likes to make their bikes be LEGO, there will be some crossbreeding from other models' parts bins to improve the package on the cheap. The bike can make the needed power without heavy lifting or making it a grenade, weight is already in the ballpark, Yamaha wear items are cheap, and I've got access to some good knowledge on the platform to help steer me so this should be good.
Or bad, 'cause it renders half of my giant book of excuses invalid...
