oldschoolsdime92 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 As long as I can tag it for street use I'm all ears. Trailering to the track is no problem at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit12 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 A local school teacher was talking of selling his 250 Ninja for $2000, if you would like I will ask for sure if he wants to sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 I would really be curious how a 250 would do on PIRC's kart track... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted June 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Well if everything comes together , I'll have a wr250x. I was chatting with turnone awhile back and he said he'd tried to ride his 125 on a kart track and it was terrifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely different animal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidgetTodd Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 His 125 is a two stroke GP bike. Not certain you are clear on how big the difference is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.504 Posted June 19, 2014 Report Share Posted June 19, 2014 Well I passed on the current drz I was looking at. I really wanna get some kart track action one of these days! G&j kartway is only 45 minutes from my house!I'm pretty close to G&J as well.I'm always willing to loan out my little green bike. It's like riding a chainsaw!I haven't been to G&J, but I believe it is smaller and tighter than CRP. Are you insistent upon a bike you can ride to the track, or would something smaller and cheaper be an option?I've heard the opposite. Big bikes on g&j's front straight pull in the high 90's for trap speed if you're turning decent lap times. As long as you're on the "moto" loop, its actually a pretty stretched out track where im up in 3rd and sometimes click 4th on my 4 speed 450. When I'm on the little bike, I spend a good portion revving out 6th. If you use the kart lines, it's super tight... So much so that it takes the fun out of it. Even on the little bike. I rode a DRZ around G&J, it was piggish feeling compared to my RMZ (but I figured it would be).I also rode a wr250x around G&J. It was pretty much the same as the drz and both felt "like a street bike".Something interesting about the wrx: the motor is actually 1 cylinder of an r1 engine. That's why it has the longevity. If you want a street friendly/lower maintenance/reliable/proper sumo: wr450f converted. Or even a crf450x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've witnessed the little beast in action with my own 4 eyes =) I can verify that when he enters the dragon that bike, I never see him again after that first turn.

I plan to use it as my commuter bike also. Im not looking to be super fast. Just to have some fun. I won't be actually racing the bike. just playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
