What it costs to rent a track bike
One price per bike: everything to do with the bike is in it, and what stays out is the track entry, which has a price of its own and goes to the organiser. Below: the list model by model, the extras, what you leave as a deposit and what every part costs if you go down.
Prices are per bike, per day, and they include tyres, fuel, garage equipment and transport to the circuit — the things you pay for one by one when the bike is your own, from filling the van to a set of tyres to the servicing between one day and the next. What stays out is the track day entry, which you pay to the organiser and which changes from circuit to circuit. The whole amount is settled on confirmation, by bank transfer: cancel up to 24 hours before the day and it costs you nothing, inside 24 hours we keep 30 %.
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 you leave as a deposit
It is not a cost and it is not a down payment: it is a sum that sits in the paddock for the day. It is only touched if there is damage, and only up to the agreed figure: if nothing happens you get all of it back when you hand the bike over. It is lower than elsewhere for a practical reason: parts for our bikes cost less.
- You sign the contract in the paddock, before going out, together with the parts list.
- The sum is left by cheque or in cash: we do not hold cards, so nothing stays blocked for days.
- At the end of the day we check the bike together in front of the garage and hand it straight back.
- If there is damage it comes off that sum following the list: anything above the excess is on us. Theft and a written-off bike have a limit of their own, written into the contract.
How much: €1,200 for a 600, €2,000 for a 1000, €400 with the excess reduction. Per bike rented.
If you crash, what it costs
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.
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.
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.
