Was thinkin tonight on the way into work, the GB500 is probably the cheapest way to go. There are hundreds of them around, the wiseco XR kits would be findable around the world, and steel frame makes it chopable.

Apparently KB one went for about $600. Could be wrong though.

Sometimes Chris rides his Dad's bike but Pete built them both.
Speedpro had quite a hot CB450, think he sold it on not long ago, but would be worth asking if one went that way. really I think one would want to start a spreadsheet & say ok if we go this way we could use all these aftermarket parts, or ok who is paying for this? Maybe we'll just get out the grinder & get that 250 Rebel singing?
Some confusion, I thought you were talking straightline sprint, Deano is assuming hillclimb. Changes the structure somewhat & the tyre/suspension budget.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Nope, Dean is talking about the sprints, run by Cliffhanger promotions, the same people that do the hill climb. He was just answering the question about bike requirments.

Daww! that makes more sense.
I must run my 50 sometime & see what it is capable of. Would be kinda fun to chase the 50cc record. Happens to be owned by aforementioned Pete Sales. -Clever chappie.

There was a prize handed out for the fastest under 50cc run on Sunday (27 secs flying I think?).
Hmm...

I've got a couple pit bikes here, wonder if I could streamline one and take that title in November.
I'd expect an RG50 to cane it tho.
What other obscure classes could be entered?

Yeah I was talking straight line sprints.
Chris Sales has a TM400 and XR500. The XR is shitloads faster than the TM...otherwise I would be sitting in first place in PC Junior.

Did you see that German website (in English), they put two of them together. Really beautifully done. Sounds absolutely mint. Will try and track down the link... the name `Schottmeier' keeps coming into my head?
EDIT: Yep, I was right -- http://lovik.tripod.com/Clubman6-schottmeier.html

Ya just have to lean forward and grit your teeth more Deano

Yeah the TM is of course Period 72 eligible & the XR period 82.
If I ever have kids I'll make sure mine is faster too
Hmm, maybe a crashed VT250 would be the go. Steel frame, perky thin engine, prolly not too expensive if largely destroyed (ie: uneconomic to fix to road form). Would easily be 100mph capable if in the right frame, maybe an ambitious 120 target.

I have looked at that bike as a potential purchase, and it well...
Too good!
Its a real minter aye, well worth it for someone upgrading from a 250.
Would be great start but It 3700 is a fair bit if ya just wana muck around and have fun with somthing on closed roads. IMHO of course...
What a great idea Paul! have been thinking of trying somthing like that myself, was thinking GN/DR 250 based machine as it would be cheap and easy to play with compared to somthing bigger and all the old school brit bike hot up knowledge floating around this country is still FAIRLY relevant.

Yeah, make an offer, It will go for cheaper if I dont have to paint it again first.
Aint really a speed bike but probably could be with the ammount the previous owner spent on the bottom end (KLR600)
Im really loving the Idea of a GN based one and becuae they are so common it would open the door to others following, would be the easiest and cheapest way to begin a dedicated class, that or FXR150.
With the GN you could add SR250 yamaha aswell tho..

Do a Supermono conversion job on the VTR250 - turn it into a high revving S(X?)R125!Yeah the TM is of course Period 72 eligible & the XR period 82.
