I don't understand this train of thought at all; surely you want a 2 stroke (especially a nicely modded NSR) for the track and if you must use one use a 4 stroke on the road where it's strengths (flexabilty, usabilty, lastability etc) can be used to their greatest effect?
In the past I've run an RMD setup CBR400 with Maxton suspension and two RVFs (one a minter) on the road and track and after having used the '28 on the track I have to say they were all by comparison rubbish, soft, slow, heavy and unresponsive. I'll never use the RVF on the track again out of choice.
On the road it's another story, the RVF is the better bike 80+% of the time, it's only when everything comes togeather that the NSR makes any sense, all the rest of the time I just deal with it.
And that's before I even consider running costs.
I suppose it also depends how your NSR is setup, mine is pretty well sorted, suspension is on the firm side, Tyga seat is not designed for comfort, damn loud etc and riding Monkey's '21r the other weekend, it is like a light ,quiet CBR400 with no engine braking and a bit more go at the top.
Horses for courses I guess but if you've got 2 bikes on of which weighs a ton but is silky smooth and never goes wrong and one that is the closest thing you can get to a road legal racebike which do you think will be best on the track?
