not a bad concept considering the cost of fuel and tires now a days.

I would go for that possibly if it was a 600..

250 just wouldn't make me want to drop the cash..

considering they will let you race em, I would do it. I don't really want to risk my bike in competition. That would be awesome if they ran the series out here. I would be interested in getting a 250 for that.

I agree, I'd do it with a 600...

These guys are in Vegas at like every track day:

It looks like that race bike rentals place is doing it specifically for the Ninja 250 cup that's part of WSMC this year. The series is sponsored by Kawi, so I wouldn't be shocked if Kawi fronted the money to start up that little company to encourage more riders in the class.

cool-

that would be pretty cool and not bad - $250 - considering a track day alone is usually around $150.. i think a 250R would be alot of fun on the track..

not only a track day, but you can rent them to participate in the league races. You guys demanding 600s don't know what you are missing. I race 88cc pit bikes and it's a ton of fun. You don't need a fuckin 600 to have a freakin blast racing, plus for only $250 you will never find a deal like that for renting a 600 setup to race let alone a stocker for rent.

Mudpuppy 04-25-2008 10:07 AM

everyone is all about power, etc. i tell you what that 600 you will never use 3% of all that power and capability.. i go to grattan and guys on 125s are passing me like I am standing still in the turns.. it pisses you off when you are in your grove thinking you are going somewhat fast doing alright and a damn dirtbike goes whipping by.. i think the 250R would be a blast on the track.. you could probably get pretty close to running it full bore..

I totally agree. I wonder if they adjust the suspension and all to you, that would be crazy awesome. A race setup 250 could put a whipping on a lot of bikes on the track.

anyone here ever seen killboy pass a full sized street bike on his lil pit bike, :leaving:
but if they had that at nashville, i would be all over that for a kickass gift for pc and myself, what a better way to introduce someone to the track then to get one of those fun machines on track

Mudpuppy 04-25-2008 04:32 PM

i am seriously considering doing this.. i am working on the details..

dReWpY 04-25-2008 04:37 PM

does sound like fun but you can get the (older model) 250 for anywhere from 1200-1700 in good mechanical condition. Why not just do that?

Yeah, sounds like I may have to take a trip out there.
