Which race bike & class?

Id agree 250 production looks like fun, 65kgs would be awesome

Well there isn't anything to stop him from doing that..... but correct me if I am wrong, when Dan was #3, I was actually faster than the guy who ended up #5NZ.....
The pace has picked up considerably at Nationals. Dan is also a very handy rider.....
Super Corsers? What are they??

As for the Super Tune... Well, yeah, mine can run top 10 with a 100kg on board..... so it will really fly with a 65kg person.....

Not sure that any of that is really relevant,Things have moved on in a number of areas since 2012 to improve the times being achieved and none of it alters the fact the Hyo is a 250 production machine if he feels thats where he needs to be at some stage,That said your not likely to see many Hyo's competing at the nationals until MNZ get their act together.

All fair points, particularly the last one..... However I'm trying to sell my bike here....
So Ninja 250R is a great way to go in my opinion....

Agreed, some of the best racing in the nats was watching the 250s bar- to bar, just awesome. And they will teach the basics.

Nothing to stop him doing the nats on a Hyosung,Theyre not that far off the pace and they do have some advantages over the Ninja,In his case he's 15 ks lighter than a number of the Ninja competitors AND they have the added advantage of the wider rims so they can run super corsa's front and rear,If someone was to supertune their Hyo to the same spec some of the Ninja's are,They'd be in with a shot,Dan Mettam got 3 rd on his a coupla years back.

15 KILOS lighter - how are those rose-tinted glasses mate ? 65kg is nearly 15STONE lighter than some of 'em

Auckland club has Hyosung Cup, looks like Hamilton's winter series has them as well. They're low budget but highly competitive, and since the bikes are pretty much equal, it comes down to racecraft, and has said, big fields too.

Otherwise, a mate has stepped from that (and still racing it) to a SV650 and doing F3 or twins (or both, no idea) and doing pretty well because of the racecraft learnt from Hyosung Cup.

65kg... want some of mine to make it more fair?

Ha Ha no thanks, the twins was the other idea, but since its been so long from being on a race bike will prob start with the 250s. Want to get along to a race meet and check them out. Thanks for the replies
