Im thinking of going racing

For a total novice racer what would be the best bike to race on?
I have no dreams of being a world class road racer.
I'm an experienced road rider but this racing bit looks like fun.

if ya want turn it on and ride it racing then try production based bikes.
I reckon ATM ya best bet is a SV650 in F3

CBR/ZXR250 and race in the streetstock. Racing at 18,000rpm is incredible, and they aren't that fast so they would be a good place to start racing

A 1923 francis barnet would be good to see racing.

Go classic

Problem is that there is no SS250 class in Auckland...

Best bet is witha an oldschool 400 or a newer SV650 and race in F3...

Can't go wrong with that combo. Or if you feel competent enough, a oldish model 600 in the clubmans class.

If you're looking for the cheapest option then buckets might be an option. Can start out for next to nothing but can spend a bunch if wanted. Still very competative.
