You are choosing chores over a party and a ride - I'll pray for you mate

Yeah it seemed pretty close to me.

The CBR seems as quick as Paul M's one, but not quite as quick as Barry New's ZXR, and a long way off Jarrod's ZXR.

If I stick with this bike, I will be aiming for top three in PC Jnr next year.

F3 is a different story, but new proposed rules may come into play if it limits the mods to the SV's.

What about your plans ? Your times are damn fast.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Cheers mate - I would be pretty keen to give F2 a crack, but the $$$ involved may mean I'm stuck where I am.

Deano....sounds like you're going well mate!
If you wanna do F2, being a Honda man and all, get yourself a late (ish) RS 250. Fucking work of art. Better to ride than ten Gwen Stefani's.
No where near as expensive to run as people would have you believe.

[Sketchy_Racer]

Yeah, Pauls one is bog stock as well. Barrys is/was a very fast bike. the engine is Bayden Sprozens old one. It used to be a hot rod. To bad the cooter couldn't ride it (bayden that is)

I don't know whats plans for next season.

Maybe 125s

Maybe F3

so many choices. But it will most likely be 125gp. As thats all i can afford to do

The funny thing is, I did my fastest lap time in F3 where i only go out for fun rather than race. Maybe being more relaxed makes me faster??

In streetstock race i did a 2:02.5

In F3 i did a 2:01.3

over s second better NUTS haha

[skelstar]

...or relive the glory days on a NSR250 mate?

Do ya happen to have one for sale there mate???

Deano = Sady, the cleaning lady.

You sad, sad boy. I thought that riding a Honda would do better things to you. I think you need some professional help, fast!

[Crasherfromwayback]

No, and as much as it hurts me to say, I believe they're a much better race bike (albeit harder to set up sometimes) than a TZ. The build quality is blow your wad good. Run them with good oil at sensible mixture ratios and you'll have no problems. They even crash well. Better to throw 100 kgs down the road than 160. Especially when they sneak up and pounce on you, as race bikes sometimes do.

Wait till you're married mate....you have much to learn young man

I like the sound of that. As far as $$ goes, it's not so much the initial bike purchase but tyres etc (and pistons and rings if a 2 stroke). The 400 doesn't chew them out much. I'm still running the tyres it came with and all it has cost me so far is a few gaskets. I will still get another two days out of the tyres yet - that'll be 5 meetings on two sets of 25% worn tyres.

Nah mate, they're not nearly as dear to run as people think. Just run the best oil avail at safe ratios and pay careful attention to your jetting. Throwing pistons and rings at it is a piece of piss, and you don't even have to do that all that often if you're not running them at 'the edge' jetting wise etc. They have 'o'ringed heads, so no expensive head gskts needed when you do rings etc, and it's a quick easy job. They're not hard on tyres, and the best bit is they only weight 100kgs, so you don't even need a loading ramp! I had a '92' (last one before the single sided swingarm) and it was a total blast. min tens or there abouts shouldn't be too much of a prob with a
later model one!

[cowpoos]

good effort bro...be good to see you on a bigger bike!!! race fairings for cbr1000's can't be that expensive???
