Old GSX-R 400 What to do with it?

**dhunt** · 5th June 2007, 19:09

I've got an old GSX-R 400 (86 model) that I bought really really cheap to fix up with the idea to maybe race one day. I have since got it running and converted it to a total loss system system as it didn't have a good regulator on it. I have since decided I don't want to race it (I like my 600 too much) and now need some ideas on what to do with it. Any ideas?

Even if you like the 600 you have , why not race it in F3 or Post Classics or whatever to give yaself more track time and have alot of fun.

Or, do what i am doing and let another person race your bike and you pay for it all !!!!
Im nuts arnt i ??? Nup , just dedicated.

lol

I've been looking for something in this size range to work on and build into a 1/4 mile drag bike.

If you have never tried it you are missing a lot.

Try Keith Brock (Keith Brock Racing)...he races them in Formula 3. He may be interested. PM me if you'd like a contact number/email for him.

Excuses excuses! And to think woman have been brave enough to touch those legs or even be near them.....shudder shudder.

Anyway....... I can safely say that Gixxer-400's aren't that flash off-road. Something to do with 100/90x16 front tyres being not really suitable for dirt ruts.
Definitely do on-road.
