I'm a huge fan of the track! you can learn a lot about riding out there and it's not ALL about racing and going fast. At the right track school you can learn a lot about body positioning, cornering, braking, etc. and everything translates onto the street. It's amazing what your bike is actually capable of and and once you see what it can do it gives you more confidence in your ability to handle it.
If a track day is not an option for you due to gear or cost I understand, it's not cheap. You can learn the same on the street with lots of practice and the right teacher. Maybe an advanced MSF course or find a good friend that can actually explain things to you and then follow you and give tips. Riding with groups is nice but many people that can ride cannot teach and vice-versa!
