Track bike rental at Castelletto di Branduzzo

Castelletto is the cheapest day to reach for anyone coming from Milan, and we pick it when the point is to work on riding rather than on top speed.

The bikes

Two classes, six models, no surprises

Every bike leaves the workshop with the same setup sheet: pressures, gearing, brake lever position. They are not the latest model, and that is on purpose: on track the lap time comes from the rider, and you find it sooner on a bike you are not afraid to lean over. Pick a class and see what you get.

The 600s forgive more and teach you to carry speed through corners. The 1000s already ask for clean riding: more drive, more weight, less margin when you get back on the throttle. The class is your call.

Prices

Price list: each bike its own price

Bike, tyres, fuel and garage support are all in the price. Only the bike you pick changes it. The fleet has a few years on it and the list says so: you pay for the day on track, not for the year on the logbook.

Bike Full day Half day
Yamaha YZF-R6 2003 · 123 hp · 600 €420 €315
Kawasaki Ninja 636 2006 · 130 hp · 600 €450 €340
Honda CBR600RR 2007 · 118 hp · 600 €470 €355
Yamaha YZF-R1 2009 · 182 hp · 1000 €600 €450
Suzuki GSX-R1000 2008 · 185 hp · 1000 €570 €430
Honda CBR1000RR 2010 · 178 hp · 1000 €630 €475
Paddock gazebo per gazebo (3 bikes), per day · soft drinks included from €20 to €50
Excess reduction per rider, per day +€75 / +€100

Prices per bike. The half day is the full day minus 25 %, and you pick it bike by bike. Track day entry is separate: it has a price of its own, you pay it to the organiser and it changes from circuit to circuit. The gazebo changes from circuit to circuit too, because it follows what paddock space costs there: from €20 to €50. One bike can be shared by up to three riders: you take turns, the price of the bike stays the same and you split the cost between you — the bike does at most six sessions on a full day and three on a half, and any beyond that are charged. The deposit is not shared: each rider leaves their own, so damage done by one is not paid for by the others.

What it costs to rent a track bike

Is track day entry included?

No: you pay the entry to the track day organiser, because it changes from circuit to circuit. We tell you what it costs before you book, and we can book it for you at no mark-up.

The bikes are a few years old — does that matter?

It does, and in your favour. On track the lap time comes from the rider, not from the year on the logbook: a well prepared 600 has more performance than you will use in a full day, and no electronics riding for you — what you do with the throttle and the brakes is all yours, which is the fastest way to learn to do it well. These are bikes built for the track and looked after like race bikes: race bodywork, servicing counted in track hours rather than kilometres. And there is an advantage you can count in money: parts for a bike of those years cost half as much, so the excess and the damage list are lower than at a rental running the latest model. You pay less, and you risk less if you go down.

How and when do I pay?

The whole amount is settled on confirmation, by bank transfer: we send you the details as soon as we have spoken and put the bike and the date aside. Nothing is charged from the form and we never ask for your card. The deposit is a separate thing, and you leave that in the paddock on the day.

What if I have to cancel?

Tell us at least 24 hours before the day and you get everything back. Inside 24 hours we keep 30 %: by then the bike is prepared and the garage is taken.

If I crash, what do I pay?

The excess is €1,200 on the 600 and €2,000 on the 1000, written into the contract you sign in the paddock along with the parts list. You leave it there in cash or by cheque and take it back at the end of the day, once we have checked the bike over together. The bodywork is our own track bodywork: a slide with no frame damage almost always stays within the excess. If you would rather risk less, the excess reduction brings it down to €400: add it in the form, €75 a day on a 600 and €100 on a 1000, per rider.

The bill is made on parts, not by eye. And it never goes past the excess: the expensive part is on us. Theft and a written-off bike are a separate case, and the contract says how far you go.

Part 600 1000
Full bodywork set €400 €600
Single side panel €90 €120
Screen and fairing nose €110 €140
Tail unit €100 €130
Clip-on €70 €95
Brake or clutch lever €45 €65
Complete rearset €130 €180
Gear lever €60 €80
Exhaust can €280 €450
Radiator €250 €380
Fork leg €280 €400
Wheel €380 €550
Engine casing €180 €260
Frame or swingarm Assessed Assessed

Indicative prices, part and fitting included. The total stops at the excess: €1,200 on a 600, €2,000 on a 1000, €400 with the excess reduction. That covers repairable damage: for theft, fire and a written-off bike the limit is the value of the bike, written into the contract.

Do I need my own tyres or a special licence?

Tyres are included, fitted and warmed. For the track a category A licence is enough, and the class is your call: we ask for no minimum number of track days. One-piece suit, helmet, gloves and boots are yours to bring.

Can I bring my own transponder and setup?

Yes to both. We fit the transponder in the morning, and if you have setup references from your own bike we try them between sessions.
