A little bragging...

Congrats! now just remember riding in traffic is nothing like the course... ease in to it... everyone is trying to kill you... regardless what OSP will do to their mom if they succeed

When you're not a newbie those little bikes are a BLAST

I know... I always wanted a track bike... thinking about it in a whole new way now... Perhaps Ninj 250... maybe a real simple motard... Never really thought about getting anything other than a 600 or bigger sportbike for the track... Now I think I'd be better served with something else... That's a pipe dream now however...

I am a big believer in little bikes. Riding little bikes makes you more technically capable, lack of power means you have to be more technically accomplished. You have to be smooth and hit the corners hard. I've learned more from riding the fiddy than I ever did from riding the 600rr. Anyone can twist a throttle.

How big are you? I talked to a guy that races 250's. I was thinking about doing it, but he said with my weight, the bikes suspension would need a serious overhaul/upgrade. And I'd be racing against some skinnny dudes, so i'd be at a bigger disadvantage than a 500/650.

It has a windscreen and a lower fairing... that's just home in the garage... I had it all taken apart to work on it, just put the upper back on so it'd be legal to ride...

Yeah, I'm about 280 so I can feel the suspension working overtime when I just get on the fucking bike... I hear an older ZX6 shock goes in without issue and I'd probably look to do a complete fork upgrade if I were to get one... Not sure though... finances are tough right now due to some unforeseen expenses, but once the savings gets built back up, I'm gonna be lookin' for something...

Plus I'm not looking to race... just a toy... I'm honestly thinking hard about a motard, but it'd have to be the right deal. I've always wanted one for the street, but I'm sure it would be a blast on the track. Once the finances are in order, we'll see what craigslist provides...

Price of shovels, lime, and contractor bags go up?

A few guys down here are trying to get together a 250 spec class.

I know you are going to say "no racing, just trackdays" but just wait until you see how much fun it is riding with 8 -10 other guys on the same bike.
