Not really.... You can pick up 1989 bikes quite cheap... The class was won outright by a ZXR400 at the Vic Club meeting in Taupo yesterday.
Second race by over 6 seconds!

So, yes, alive and well.

excellent this is what i wanted to hear...but maybe a vfr...

How do the 400s go in f3?

I'll be there on my track VFR once I've got some more track time.

And of course money. ><

Kind of like a slower sub class within it.

450s on the other hand...

i can get a 89 suzuki 250gs built for raceing if this post is still going

i would be very intrested in pre 89 250cc racing and will be keen to comit

Better to race somthing like that in streetstock depending on the host clubs regs.
Hyosung 250 would be a better bet.
Vic Club now have minilites which is great for very lightly modified 250's.

At the end of this season, if things go to plan. My son and I may well sell up our collection of ZXR's, enough to have 3 complete bikes with spares. Will know more as the season progresses. WATCH THIS SPACE

VFR good choice being a Honda, but expensive to get competitive.

Second over all in the Winter Round at Taupo last weekend.... ZXR 400

Okay, I'm watching the space too.....

I bought my GSXR1100 last Oct for $3500. Put on a 4 into1 exhaust, K&N filters and a jet kit and won the first race at Taupo. It's got 127 RWHP.
The Pre '89 classes are the cheapest way to go for good fun racing.
There were around 33 bikes in this class at Taupo, awesome.
I'm loving it.

yup im the guy who won the Posties outright and 2nd in F3 by 1 point over all - my 400 i wish i could say is standard....... she is not. They are an awesome bike to get started on - 2 classes, cheap tyres, heaps of helpful guys who are supportive!! and heaps of different bikes. I can't say enough about it.

so in this class is there only one class or is it split onto different cc rating within the class.
im looking at running a 86 gsxr 400 in the pre89 at terotonga

[steve74]

its going to be hard to police, whats pre 89 ? the chassis or the motor?

im guessing the only zxr400 that qualifys is the H1 with the removeable swing arm link to remove the chain, as the KISS arm was on 1990 onwards. , what if you fitted a 1994 L model motor to it?

and the 89 rgv had different cylinders to the 1991 onward, what if someone used a 1995 motor which will bolt straight in?

then again the pre82 boys dont seem to get too upset, Pre72 is a different story though, I remember my mate turning up with a disc brake GT350 one day and getting the big heave hoe!!
