    Yep, 1:16.00 was the go even in 1989/90.
    NZ 250 Production Champ 1989 or 1990 (forget which) did 1:16.00 on NSR250 MC18 with standard gearing back then.
    Not truely competitive in F3 Superlite now, but still a pretty fun time to be riding around Manfeild.

    By the way,
    I have heard that the Taupo Road Race Spectacular will be running a GP class to include 350's, 250's, 125's and 250 Proddy bikes.
    True?
    If so I will be dragging out the '89 RS250 and tallking Mike into dragging out the '92 RS250.

    Don't think it would've been until 90 that anyone on an NSR went 16 flat. Probably Dave Cole then.

    Sorry bud i'm out for the first round as there's a charity VMX in Fordell on the same day.

    Lookn' forward to the long track rounds coming up tho.

    I'm sure the RGV crew of Eddie,Dawsy and Perry will keep ya hands full...in the Kr's case probably the clutch hand haha.

    Rumour has it a certain pink ex swinger is soon to join the crew.

    Too busy running Moto Academy NZ and can't really justify, with the family, winter racing anymore.
    But will get away with a one off in the summer, I hope!!

    Wayne Picard.
    Can't remember what meeting it was anymore, it was too long ago now.
    Do recall that it caused quite a stir in the paddock at the time.

    Well if Wayne Picard is the chap I think he is/was, I somehow doubt it. Think he was still riding NSR's when I was doing 250's, and he wasn't winning.

    Thought as much. I never raced against Nathan, but have done plenty of laps with Dave. Whilst Daves NSR was hell quick...he certainly rode it really well. Bruce Ainstey, Dave Cole and Simon Turner are the fastest guys I've raced with. Maybe Brett Richmond too.
