Would love, to just once be able to have my car running perfectly so I could actually see what it'll do after all these years. But I doubt that's possible with my car cause no matter how much I try it never seems to happen.

The eclipse will be cheaper than the bike going down very hard. They are so light that they don't take crashes well. Subframes, swing arms and frames like to bend. If you are going to race, start in a lower class, usually a SV650 is a good choice. Racing is TOTALLY different than riding on the street. I am sure you won't believe me, but it is. Start with a bike that won't scare you because of the shear speed. That way if you crash it, you don't crash your street bike too. Or just fix the eclipse
