Miguel, looks like after almost a week, if any were interested, you would have heard from them by now! And that's about the same response I've heard on this subject!

This is my showing interest. A full list of riders would be helpful, say maybe 20 riders.

My wife's ninja 250 is race ready, I've been taking it to some Track days at hms.
My wife Sabrina and I are very interested on spec racing, and she would get her license and start racing in feb. If theres a class for 250's.  I'm looking for another 250 to join you guys. It will be so much fun!
I was just told about this topic on this forum, I guess I registered here some years ago, I didn't even remember about this place. I' think like me, many other people may be interested but don't  even know this forum exists.

Yeah, this is me, joining your forum to support 250 racing.....


My "Thunderbike" is ready, I just need to get my license. Probably in  Dec or Feb.

Hey guys! Thanks for your posts, please keep them coming.

Henry, it appears that there is an interest but as Walter mentioned many racers do not regularly participate on the forums so are not aware that we are talking about this. What other type of media would you recommend to promote something like this? Maybe a press release in Road Racing World?

Here are some pretty recent press releases:

Homstead 12/3/11 I can be there ready to race! and most likely one more individual. I could possibly prep one more 16in wheel bike, if an established racer was willing to ride it.

Hey James, Mark Tenn (Above) is in need of a sponsored ride. I heard that the older models have a little more power that the 08. It would be interesting to see how it performs.

Hey just wanted to chime in and say I'm already looking for a 250r, and look forward to racing in this class.

Except no tires for the 16 wheels.

  I'm interested in anything Lightweight!! I would love to get a couple of sessions under my belt and see what the motors have to offer and more important what feedback the suspension will give. I think a mix of

   I think a class of 10 - 20 riders consisting of a mix of seasoned racers and young and old newbies would be alot of fun and some exciting racing

Except no tires for the 16 wheels.

Pirelli Diablo Scooter (nice and sticky), Bridgestone BT45's (great for wet track).


I used the Diablo Scooters on my 1987 Ninja 250, and the bt45's were my street tires.




As for the pre 08+ gen 250's they do make more power. You can use the front end and swing arm back from a 94+ ex500 and utilize the 17"


I need to take a race school but i'm hoping mid season 2012 I can start in with the thunderbike/light weight super twins. I have an 89 Ninja 500 with a 94+ engine. 16" wheels/Sv 650 Shock/progressive fork springs.

Any machining required to retro fit the swinger and forks?

I'm in SC, but might cruise down & hit a race if it fits my schedule.
