The guy I went with was on a Triumph Daytona (4 cyl) 600 (or 650, I forget). Anyway, he looked down his nose at my bike and then promptly struggled to keep up with me all day!
That's got nothing to do with the bike though, it's all about the rider! Put the same rider on both of your bikes, and he should've been able to eat your Fazer pretty easily.
The track is definitely not the place the FZS was designed for - I'm sure that many of you have overtaken sports bikes on track on them, but that just means the guy on the sports bike wasn't riding anywhere near its potential!
To be honest the only bit of the fazer that is okay for track is really the brakes, the ground clearance isn't exactly great, and neither is the suspension!
Engine, admittedly is personal taste, but compared to most 600cc sports bike is lacking, particularly at the top where should be for track riding.
