RG150 Vs CBR250RR?

[Two Smoker]

There is the problem of having them shipped over, but its possible

How much?

Shipping shouldnt be too bad, it was only $100US to ship my forks over from the USA...

Thinking around $1500 but dont know exactly yet...

Do you do 1.18's?

It'll be a great achievement if I make 1:30

Fastest lap was 2:22 on the long circuit, fastest RG was 4 seconds behind, not bad for my first day against experienced racers

Therefore the CBR is the better bike, at least for the manfield track, have to see how well it does at Taupo

Only problem though, bloody heavy to pick up, DNF race 2 because of this

And race 3, I had a RG fly into me, causing heavy damage

All I have to do now to the CBR to get it ready for going, let alone racing is:
-Plastic weld front fairing together
-Get a new front brake assembly (resevoir is demolished and lever is nowhere, snapped right off)
-Replace cracked crankcase side cover, or at least weld this one together and weld a plate on it for extra protection
-Push right footpeg back a bit
-Get new fairing mounts for the front fairing, or bend them back into shape if possible
-Weld the front wheel fairing together
-Fix dent in tank caused by trailer, and then made worse by the RG
-Replace rear brake lever as that one was eaten up by the tarmac around the corners (what is that scrapping noise?)
-Cheap brand tyres that came with the bike are looking really dodgey (this has been a problem for a while, race abuse have left them looking worse), replace with GPR-70s
-Move dashboard a bit to the right where its supposed to be
-Replace leaking sump oil

Otherwise, engine works, frame seems ok, the rear fairings are perfect, dashboard is ok-just needs to be moved, electrics seem fine, just need to get a quote on all this

[EDIT]Also my leathers are torn apart, and I might've had a concussion from the collision

2:22's are awesome!!! faster than some of the F3 guys....

Bugger about the bin mate saw you over by the hairpin (the really sharp one by on the extension)

I want to change my number to 666 :-p just thought I would start this post with something random

Anyway, my Dad got some advice from one of his mates (the guy who has 10 bikes and 3 Datsun 300Zs) and he said this is what I need to get/do
-aftermarket clip-ons ($130 - $150) - lower riding position
-another tank - any colour (Trademe)
-fairings - he said from Hamilton so he must be on about Just Fairings - buy 2, one for road, one for racing
-take anything off
-seat units that may fit
-engine bars - maybe get them made up (8-10mm steel, I can do that at metalwork)
-weld case if possible (Might be able to do this at metalwork)
-engine bungs - crash bungs
-stickiest tyres

So... where can I find these clip ons for the handlebars, seat units that may fit, engine bars, bungs and tyres?

[Coyote]

Tyres are really important cause I think thats why I fell off first time round, and as I said before, the ones that came with the bike look realllly dodgey

Also, I'm interested in getting new rear sets to give me a higher ground clearance

So were you the Black CBR250 in Streetstocks? #132?
Was it you that came off on the first sweeper, then had #62 KR150 run off the track behind you and run straight into your bike? Talk about target fixation!
If that was you, I got a good vid of it happening

The other thing you need to look into is what things you are allowed to do to your bike, and still race in streetstocks.
I don't know the rules for the 250's, but we're not allowed to make changes like that to our 150's. They must be standard. I don't think you would be allowed GPR70 tyres. You have to stay with surtain types of tyres if you want to stay within the rules.
That was my understanding. Best you ask Vic club yourself,
then let us know too

at taupo 10th i came up behind motoracer on the straight a few times but could not pull past him. my bike is a few years older than yours so not sure if yours would pull away from the RG, though i dont think the RG was stock like mine, an mine has no fairings an stuff.

guy on a zxr 250 same year as your bike was pulling away from me on straight, think he would have it over RG. but not by much. an then theres corners.

Nup that RG (my one) is stock standard except for the braided brake lines..

fibre glass fairings?

not that they make any diff just looks like a race bike not a street bike.

[Coyote]

You can't do much to modify a streetstock bike. As far as I know, your only allowed to buy aftermarket parts as replacements to broken parts, otherwise you have to keep the bike stock. Stupid rule cause I would've prefurred wrecking brand new fibreglass fairings than my originals, ah well

Suppose you can get away with modifications since they don't scrutineer the bikes
