Would you race superbike?

Just 50K aye - why isit so much more than 600ss, or are they similar??

I suppose there are club racers - who go round and round.

Or you aim for the top. F1 hell yeah!!

For sure! Trying to put a season together (money, bike etc). Even if it is just the one season so I can say I have.

I'd be happy just to get another start in f3 and posties this summer. Superbikes would be too far out of my league.

Nah, I'm far too old to be getting into that sort of shannanigans

I would think twice before I'd commit to ride a ~180 hp superbike machinery competitively.

Hell yea! I had planned 2 seasons ago to ride one this year, but to be honest, I am in love with the 600 class!
I had such a hoot at the nationals just been that I decided to give it at least another year, it was honestly the most fun I have ever had racing.
The other reason was numbers, I would rather finish down the order in a bigger class than right up the front in a smaller class. With more numbers, there is always someone a little faster to pull you along and help you improve.

I WOULDN'T WANNA STEP BACKWARDS TO A MEAGER 180 Hp!!!!

**Deano** · 9th July 2009, 11:51

Hell yeah - no question.

I've punted my thou round the track on open days and it is the shizzle.

One season is never enough.

What are these nationals you speak off? 5 months out from the start MNZ is showing no information regarding 2010 on it's website.
