Manfeild however turns the slicks into a mess on the 125!!

ahh well i guess i will find out, hoping i wont have to fork out another 450 for another set anytime soon

i'm tempted too but will see how the trackday goes, i'm not exactly a good enough rider to be racing yet....

but will go on the track and have a bit of fun, but as i say i'm not that great a rider to be racing....

guess i will find out once i'm on the track....

because on the road 120-130 through any 65 no worrys , but i'm told track is completely different to road so i guess i shall see....

Good on you Mark, smart move. You'll have loads of fun and learn things that you haven't in the past about the ZXR 250 although you have owned a few now. But track time will teach you some new things about the bike and yourself.

Good move have fun, don't take out anyone. And I think if you race streetstock you will be fine but trackdays a good starting point. Take pics and stick em up ere when ya can!

Dont know if you noticed, but umm... your front wheel is on the wrong way i.e the tread direction is the wrong way. I could be wrong though.

Or you could say its a custom cut slick! haha

Those tyres are fitted the correct way round.
Occassionally on smaller cc race bikes a front is fitted to the rear (am told it helps with tip in/transition) but they must be fitted with the direction arrow pointing the 'wrong' way.
