Twisties only. Doesn't require good 60' times.

Both........
I like drag racing and twisties, but if I had to pick one over the other riding twisties would be the winner hands down. To me that is what a fine sportbike was crafted to do, and that is where it shines the most. I'm in no way disrespecting you quarter milers, just stating my personal views. Drag racin' is a blast no doubt, but give me a full tank o' gas and the Cherohala Skyway any day.

After spending thousands already this year on trackdays and associated travel/lodging, I'm afraid to even get started in drag racing. My brother drags races a bike (track champ in fact) and I know I would get hooked. I'd have to get the wife a second or third job just to keep up.

It would be nice to have 2 bikes because a bike set up for Drag cannot turn and a Bike set up for Turn wheelies to much! Making the turns will put your heart in your throat a lot "LONGER" than a drag race which is a lot of Hurry up and wait!

Vincent is a regular politician. Said a lot but didn't answer the question!
Twisties, roadracing! Drag racing is fun also, but at the end of the day 8 hours has passed for less then a minute and a half of riding. Of course if I were as good at it as Mad Mike I would be stoked about it!
The local drag racer that I sponsor crashed hard on Saturday. Patched himself and the bike up and won on Sunday!

I used to like the twisties until I started drag racing. Now, the only turning I do is at the end of the quarter mile.

drag raced cars (65' GTO) before I discovered bikes in 1972'.
Now that I'm retired from roadracing 8 seasons, twisties mostly but go to the drags at least 2-3 times a year w/both my bikes (ZRX1100 & the ZX12R.)
