Best 150cc for racing??

[Tim 39]

Ok this is my opinion on the whole 250/150 argument.. its easier to do OK on a 250 than a 150, (don't need to get as much drive on 250 because more power so they can afford to make more mistakes) right at the front however I think there isnt much in it (maybe not the case for CBR's, by the sound of it are a lot faster).
At the end of it all the 150 rider has learnt more about passing, and the 250 rider has learnt how to get away with making errors. If you wanted to go F3, you could get a four stroke if you like, if you're going to go two stroke definately a two stroke 150. After that it's all up to personal preference

Agreed.The fastest bike for 150 streetstock is a 250 but the best to learn racecraft on is an RG 150.Its down to your preference

An odd question, but how do you guys think my old GSX 250 would do?????

Oil cooled 250 parallel twin.
179kg (according to manual) dry weight! (fat aye!)
Steel all over, inl swingarm but can be biffed down the road time and time again! (really not highside friendley, but what bike is?)
Single front disc.
Think they make mid 30's HP at crank but not sure???

I am considering doing streetstock instead of clubmans....

If you were a good rider you may be able to get bottom third of the field (estimate as it depends quite a lot) if you were out to have some cheap fun you could have plenty on it, if you're in it to win it dont bother on that.
thats my thoughts anyway...

Yeah was thinking my goal would be to not come last...

Currentley my goal is for my homemade (not by me) bike is to get all the way thu qualifying and one race, without somthing going wrong!

Round 3 will be attempt 3 for that, hence the streetstock idea...

Pissing around with a silly homejob bike is kinda fun tho!

I think it's all to do the satisfaction of knowing you fixed it well if it lasts a whole meeting! like a wee challenge as well as actually riding it

yeah and staying on thru the vibration of a big single with no balance shafts!
Thats a challenge and a half!
Great fun tho.

I would say to anyone reading this thread and hinking about a GSX 250 in SS - Go for it! at least they dont sound like a P smoking sewing machine
