I need Help From Everyone

**Two Smoker** · 15th June 2004, 17:34

Hey everyone

ive got a bit of a problem....

I ride a RG150, as as you might have read from the other threads im not a slow rider....

I need a bigger bike, but heres the problem, ive only been riding 6 months therefore cant get a bike bigger than 250 on the road

These are the options i have........

1) Keep the RG150 as a road bike and Race bike....

2) Keep the RG150 as a road bike and get a 400 for F3 racing...

3) Sell the RG150 get a RGV250 and a F3 race bike.....

or 4) Get a RGV250 for the road and keep the RG150 as a race bike....

Ofcourse im still in the saving money process but need to know what too look for

Cheers for the help, and can you please comment on personal experience etc

It all depends on how much cha ching ya got. 150cc class are great and very competitive I am told. It should be way cheaper than F3 as well.

You might want to look into racing your RG150 unless you can afford to race in F3.

From what I can gather from you, I don't think you'll be leaving the road bike riding scean anytime soon so a 2 smoke 250 for the road might just be perfect to enhance your skills.

IMO I'd keep the mighty RG for racing and get a RGV250 road bike

I think MR is on to it. Mind you those RGV250's are pretty kick-ass for their engine size. You'd probably end up racing that too

Dude ya diddn't suggest the clearest option.
Get a 150 race bike--there are a shit load of advantages
I-you can use the road bike to run in ya race engine.
half worn race tyres can see new life on the road bike.
If you need the parts in a hurry to keep either machine going theyre available.

What he said, get another RG150 and race it, this way you can accidently slip on the road fairings onto the track bike for a very quick blat around town, plus having an easy supply of spare parts if you need them in a hurry

Yeah it is an option and ive already got spare fairing and parts for it.... but i need the extra power on the road.....

**Wonko** · 15th June 2004, 19:57

Well what about race tuning the bike, and having 2 set's of fairings? best of both worlds

**shandawg** · 15th June 2004, 19:58

How about an RGV250 road bike and an RGV250 Race bike?

I senced that and thats why I sujested the RGV250. After you ride the RGV250 on the road. Your skill level will be boosted up for going back to the RG150 for the track.

**Two Smoker** · 15th June 2004, 22:18

You cant race tune a RG150 for the SS150 class as its street stock..... My Rg150 is set up for racing..... yea MR thats what im thinking RGV for the road to get the power.... but with the way im riding after 2-4 months i will want a bigger bike

but im sure the RGV will keep me happy for a while

Any other thoughts????

Oh and forgot...... can you please give me reasons for your choice on the poll

**Two Smoker** · 16th June 2004, 15:51

OK guys i still need some help......... I know i need a bigger bike, but its weather i have it on the road or track, ie bigger road bike (RGV250) or bigger track bike (400cc)

If i had 5 grand and a full licence i would already be on my way too wellington with the trailer........ But even if i traded the RG in for it i wouldnt have enough
