Yeah, I race an EX for 3 seasons. Luckily my local racing scene (CCS/LRRS) has a class designed almost specifically for the EX500, as that was the bike the local race school (Penguin Racing) used as their school bike. You could buy yourself an EX500 for dirt cheap, throw a shock on it & have a bike that was competitive with anyone else's on the grid.
Production Twins has to be the best bang-for-the-buck race motorcycle road racing class in the US
I had a ball racing that class.
