I am a big believer in little bikes. Riding little bikes makes you more technically capable, lack of power means you have to be more technically accomplished. You have to be smooth and hit the corners hard. I've learned more from riding the fiddy than I ever did from riding the 600rr. Anyone can twist a throttle.

How big are you? I talked to a guy that races 250's. I was thinking about doing it, but he said with my weight, the bikes suspension would need a serious overhaul/upgrade. And I'd be racing against some skinnny dudes, so i'd be at a bigger disadvantage than a 500/650.

I think rentmyninja is no longer.

Their bus is for sale on Wera, citing "career change".

Do you know the guy? I have been thinking of doing something similar here and would like to talk to someone that has done it.
