RG150 Vs CBR250RR?

When running slicks you also need tyre warmers. I get what you are saying I spent $440 on a gpr70 front and gpr100 rear.

I run a TT900gp on my 18" rear. I presume they are still available.
Bridgstone still make the BT39ss in a 18" rear

If slicks are cheaper, then lets put a proposal to Vic club to promote that option. If they are already running slicks in the south Is, there must be a reason for it.

It is not Imparitive that you run tire warmers.

It helps but if the rule is NO tire warmers then everyone is on the same temp tires when they go out on the track.

you "might" be able to find a 18" tt900, But they dont make them anymore so they will run out very quickly.

Your allowed to run tyre warmers, slicks are very slippery when cold.
Why not bradied lines too they are cheeper. Infact after market sprockets are too can I add some teeth on the rear?

So I assume you've ridden on slicks quite alot then?

No they aren't slippery when cold, they're just as slippery as gpr70's et al when cold. And no you don't "need" tyre warmers for slicks, they are handy but not essential. For the 150's they are quite good cause instead of having to buy a set of $400+ gpr70's etc you just get a 2nd hand set of slicks off the 125 guys for $50.

Yeah but this is the thing, Where you draw the line?

then it will be "let use wiesco Race pistons...they are cheaper an all"

I don't think changing sprockets would be an issue as a few guys already have.

Oh and as long as the brake lines have the DOT markings, then thats sweet.

The rules are quite clear that YES you are allowed to add/remove teeth from the sprokets to change gearing.

Bradied lines give you Too much of an advartage over non users. I would love a braded line myself, but it's not allowed at this stage.

Tyre warmers in Streetstock? If you have too. But how would you sleep at night?!

WAIT

before you start ranting on about the $$$

have YOU seen the price you can get a set of Vee rubber slicks? $150 thereabouts.

YOU wanna know how much my tt900gp's are costing me?? (the only good SS tyre)

jsut under $500.

That cause they dont make them anymore.

Sure you can get some cheap shitty Pirrili MT75s.

But they are a commuter tyre. The only sports tyre for the 150s is the dunlop tt900s.

Maybe we need to get a control tyre? A cheap deal from Vee Rubber.

That way the only slicks and wets you can run are veerubber, but the option for road tires is still out there for the guys that just wanna go round a track on their road bike??

Any thoughts?

Cut the shitty out you rode our bike for free remember and I get a good deal on those pirelli tyres all it takes is you to rant on and someone sees it and bam deal over

If you dont remember you were supplyed the bike for FREE
No Fuel Costs
No Oil Costs
No wear and Tear cost

It has been annoying me hearing you ranting on here about them

I can go full tit on everycorner after splash as my GPR's. I also tryed it on the first corner and putting my knee on the deck was easy. I am just going off experiances of others. Like dss3 who was banked right over about 5' when he fell off.

There's a few "small" differences between a 150 and a R1. You can go 80% on slicks from cold and as long as you don't do anything stupid nothing will happen. After a warmup lap of manfeild they should be atleast 70% of normal running temp (depending on air temp etc) and that is ample for racing a 150.

Depends on the person riding the 150 I guess. But I get ya and theres a lot more theroy to your logic than mine.

I know Ivan.

Im not complaining about YOU guys. I thank you very much for what you have done. I would not have been able to race without you guys.

But the fact is That the pirrillis are crap.

I know YOU like them. But i know what I like and they are bad. It seems you are the only person that think they are good.

I dont expect you to spend $500 on a set of tyres for someone else to race on. Heck if you really wanted you could put on some Ching Shin tires.

Just because it is a slick don't mean its any different to a 'sports' tyre.

What you have on your bike at the moment is very much like a slick.. but it has grooves.
