Why not get into it? Just get a cheap 500 or something. The guy on the site says that these vintage bikes last with a set of tires the whole year. Or maybe two if you are a little happy.

The rules arent very specific. They say "Vintage Classes - Pre 1998 production based motorcycles with age and model appropriate modifications only. Bikes are to represent the spirit of the time period. Modifications may be allowed so long as no part is newer than age limit of the class or petitioned. No Expert/Novice distinction."




You should join with me and my friend. I know that the tracks they use are quite a drive for you, but it would be fun. We are planning to register for the race school early. That way we can have our novice race liscense early. Then we can hit a track day before the season to dial in the bikes. They said its better if you can join with friends and have "teams", so you're not going in alone.

98? Shit you could run an f3. Be more than competitive in vintage and prob not too far off in reg 600s. At amature level anyway.

As for me im working on it. My life needs some restructuring before I can jump into things.
