because I'm keen on getting into racing. Does anyone have any info on racing the Jap bikes 1960 to 1982?? like what bikes are popular, the different classes etc. Hearing from anyone would be great. Thanks. A newy, but an oldie?? too.

How expensive it is will mainly depend on how competitive you want to be and what level of equipment you want
There's a huge choice of bikes available,go along to a couple of race days,talk to the guys racing have a look at what people are running,get an idea of costs involved,then get out there and give the boys a hammering
there's a rule book here somewhere http://www.mnz.co.nz which details the class rules
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

Welcome to the site Mrs Sparks.
Some very good advice above from Kickaha, I can't think of anythink more to add. I can give you the details of the Post Classic Racing Register if you want to PM me. They're based in Auckland but races are at Puke, Taupo and Manfeild. There's a race meeting at Manfeild 29th May where there'll be a good Post Classic field.
Being frustrated is disagreeable.
But the real disasters in life begin when you get what you want.
