HI Tim and welcome to the daily meating of Buckets AA
sorry to hear that you have this addiction.
an FXR is a great entry level bike (that also can be made into a great frount runner without much cost)
you dont need to do much at all to get the fxr up and running (strip it bear and fit tyres)
and then you dont need to do much to make it fast (new carb and bigger rims tyres)
anything els is a bit of dicking around (specialy those 2 strokes. But they are faster . read the E.S.E thread to see what I mean )
remember to have fun (you can still win on a $250 cb125 single. if you are good and lucky)
best bet is to go down with what gear you have and beg borrow or steal a bike to try out ( get as meany as you can to ride )
these guys a just like junkies (quite willing to get you hooked any way they can )
see you next time you are in auckland or at the TRRS ( every good bucket racer goes on a pilgramige once a year to the TRRS. and even some from the south Island come as well )
