My parents bought me a track day at Western Australia's Barbagallo raceway for Christmas last year so I took my CB along.
I was the only retro bike there but I still had a blast and really enjoyed talking with the track day regulars. While it's true that the CB is no track bike, I think it's worth taking your daily ride to the track at least once so you can feel the incredible cornering and braking abilities these machines have. It sure as hell increases your confidence on the road.
Plus it's a pretty good feeling to have those street tyres all sticky with gummed up bits all over and not a chicken strip in site.
*Warning!*
Track days are heroine-like addictive. As soon as I move into a place with a more spacious garage I'm going to buy myself a dedicated 600cc track day supersport.
