Which class would it be best for a rank amateur to try racing in?

That thing seems like a bargain at that price, and being a twin, would it also be eligible for street stock?

I looked at the Spada option when looking for a 2nd bike to race between bucket races. Production Light class bikes must have been sold new in NZ. The Spada was not sold new in NZ so does not qualify for the class unfortunately.

22.13 Street Stock 250cc 4 Stroke Capacity Group.
This class of motorcycle requires an MNZ Homologation with a minimum of 50 units
sold of that mass produced motorcycle.
This homologated motorcycle must be a street type road registerable and Wof mass
production machine available and sold new in New Zealand.

Hi all, apologies if this topic has been done to death, I searched but found nothing...

I've recently decided that the race track is the best place to ride motorbikes. Therefore, to maximise my opporunities to get onto a race track, I think I need to buy/build a race bike.

My question is, what class should I be looking to get into?

Budget is fairly limited (approx $4-5000 to buy a bike) and I've got no experience with high powered machinery, so I was thinking of getting into the shallow end of the F3 pool with a 400.

A bit more reading suggests that I would be at best a mobile chicane and at worst dangerous as I wobble round at the back trying not to get in my own way. Whilst I appreciate that I will be slow, I do not want to be so slow as to be a nusiance. I would also like to be close enough to others that I can learn from what they are doing.

Can anybody suggest a class that would be cheap to get into and suitable for a novice?

I do quite fancy the idea of a bucket, but would also like something that can do a reasonable lick around full size tracks.
