I would go for that possibly if it was a 600..

250 just wouldn't make me want to drop the cash..

considering they will let you race em, I would do it. I don't really want to risk my bike in competition. That would be awesome if they ran the series out here. I would be interested in getting a 250 for that.

These guys are in Vegas at like every track day:

It looks like that race bike rentals place is doing it specifically for the Ninja 250 cup that's part of WSMC this year. The series is sponsored by Kawi, so I wouldn't be shocked if Kawi fronted the money to start up that little company to encourage more riders in the class.

that would be pretty cool and not bad - $250 - considering a track day alone is usually around $150.. i think a 250R would be alot of fun on the track..

not only a track day, but you can rent them to participate in the league races. You guys demanding 600s don't know what you are missing. I race 88cc pit bikes and it's a ton of fun. You don't need a fuckin 600 to have a freakin blast racing, plus for only $250 you will never find a deal like that for renting a 600 setup to race let alone a stocker for rent.

everyone is all about power, etc. i tell you what that 600 you will never use 3% of all that power and capability.. i go to grattan and guys on 125s are passing me like I am standing still in the turns.. it pisses you off when you are in your grove thinking you are going somewhat fast doing alright and a damn dirtbike goes whipping by.. i think the 250R would be a blast on the track.. you could probably get pretty close to running it full bore..

I totally agree. I wonder if they adjust the suspension and all to you, that would be crazy awesome. A race setup 250 could put a whipping on a lot of bikes on the track.

anyone here ever seen killboy pass a full sized street bike on his lil pit bike, :leaving:
but if they had that at nashville, i would be all over that for a kickass gift for pc and myself, what a better way to introduce someone to the track then to get one of those fun machines on track

does sound like fun but you can get the (older model) 250 for anywhere from 1200-1700 in good mechanical condition. Why not just do that?

Yeah, sounds like I may have to take a trip out there.
