Motohead,
I'll bet your bike looked tiny on the track when it was on the banks by itself. The track is so huge, it makes the bike look like it's running 50 mph.
Looks like you had a great time, always wanted to do it but never have.
As far as the other posts about riding, I agree, start off with something simple and small (my first bike was a 185, Ninja 250, 600, etc, etc...)
and take the MSF class.
I've been riding for over 20 years and about 5 years ago I took 3 levels of Keith Codes California Superbike racing school and 1 level of Kevin Schwantz's advanced class.
Point is, I had been riding for almost 20 years and I thought I could ride pretty well... man, did I find out the truth once I took those classes.
Here's a pic of one of the instructors riding on my bike with me.  Well, looks that way anyways...

Re: Pics from Daytona...
Uhh, so should i start off with something small (250cc) or save money and go with something moderate (600cc)? I'm planning to take all the classes up to the most advanced levels, just to be safe. =P

Re: Pics from Daytona...
Another thought mna, if you buy used, try to buy from someone you know / trust / a referral / etc.
I had a buddy who bought a used bike, and the handle bars would continously vibrate loose. The dealer tried everything but could not resolve the issue...alas, he just sold...so I'm sure the next guy had the same issue.
Once you ID a bike you're interested in, maybe find a web board for that type of bike (like this H2 Board) or a motorcycle board in general. You may be able to chat with nice folks like us and feel more comfortable about your purchase...
Just a thought...

By the way, Those Pics kick ass!

Re: Pics from Daytona...
Should I just send a CBR 600RR with the brush guard?

Re: Pics from Daytona...
come over to a motorcycle site I'm on, a good friend owns it and a lot of smart riders, not a squid forum. Tons of help over there. It's a site dedicated to motorcyclists in general, not a bike specific forum. http://www.wristtwisters.com
