Track Days
Indy Superbikes is your home base for track day preparation and support. Whether you're a seasoned racer or thinking about your first session, we have the gear, expertise, and connections to get you on track safely and confidently.
What Is a Track Day?
A track day is a chance to ride your motorcycle on a real racetrack in a controlled, non-competitive environment. Riders are grouped by experience level and coached on proper technique, body positioning, and racecraft. It's the safest and most rewarding way to explore your bike's capabilities — and your own. No racing license required, and most street-legal sportbikes are welcome.

Read the guide → Part 2Track Day Gear Checklist
Gear is the part that intimidates most first-timers. Here's the five-item kit that gets you through tech, what's genuinely optional, and how to build it without emptying the bank account in one go.
Read the guide → Part 3Choosing Your First Race Suit
The suit is the single biggest gear decision you'll make, and the one people overthink the most. One-piece vs. two-piece, leather vs. textile, how a track suit is supposed to fit, and where airbag tech comes in.
Read the guide → Part 4Track Day Helmets
Your helmet is the most important piece of gear you own. Choosing a track lid comes down to three questions: is it accepted at tech, does it fit your head shape, and is it current?
Read the guide → Part 5Prepping Your Bike for the Track
You don't need a race bike to do a track day — you need a safe, well-prepped street bike that passes tech. Here's the checklist, why suspension sag beats horsepower, and where your first upgrade dollars actually belong.

You've done a few track days, moved up a group, and started wondering what it would take to actually race. An honest look at the jump from track days to club racing — the real differences, the signs you're ready, and the path to a competition license.
