What happened to the 250 GP class within NZ?

Might be some merit in that assertion. Never worried me though, but I beat her as much as she beat me, so fair do's.

I can say after owning and racing a 92 RS250 Honda, that they're THE most fun you can have on a race bike. They can bite though!!!

I used to race an RS125 back in '97, til I threw it away at Ruapuna and ended my racing career. Boy was that fun, and it had no trouble keeping up with the fast CBR400RR's.
2T's are a lot of fun but, as been said here already, they make you ride the bike. That can only be a good thing.

Steve you give as always a very intelligent analysis. It is although ultimately a negative perspective of this and any class. Moto2 is doomed to failure due to its very success!? Oh dear.. Nevermind in 20 years time we can get all nostalgic and sentimental about that Moto2 class as the good old days of best racing ever, best bikes ever, a true tracing class where men were men...

Yeah, i agree - on the right day they are just a blast, but on a bad day it's all over EXTREMELY fast !
Those moments had me in hospital more than I would have liked !

How's the golf old man ?

Much like my riding. All over the place.
