    If we are in the 20HP range, I wouldn't mind a spec class on one of these either:

    I'd be very interested in running a spec class like that I think.

    Ninja 250R = $4,000

    Moriwaki 250R = $12,500

    CB160 = $2,000

    Maybe we should look at a "HP Spec Class" for 2011? Run whatever you want, but it must be less than "X" horsepower...?

    I have wanted to be a part of a spec class ever since the Aprilia Cup days, but I am obviously in the minority in wanting to find ways to have the same amount of fun with less $$ every weekend.

    With all things being equal, I bet running a 250R (even with a higher cost of initial purchase) would be comparable to a CB160 with maintenance costs associated with a bike produced in the 60s. Race prep would cost similar amounts I imagine, but a 250 chassis would probably stomp a CB160.

    (no offence to the CB160 folks. I like any form of roadracer.)

    Oh I know... I would love to put together a small stable of bikes for people to ride. We considered it with the 125's, since they're cheap, easy to maintain, and a blast to ride...

    Unfortunately (or fortunately?) I'm finally in a place in my life where I have too much to lose over a frivolous lawsuit or other such nastiness. And operating such a venture at a "net zero" (which is probably the best you could do) doesn't fit my current business model... :lol:

    Nah.

    Just call it Lightweight Supersport and limit the CCs to something obnoxious.

    I've thought a spec Ninja 250 class would be a blast to run too. And IMO $4000 would be a nicely set up one. They're for sale on CL for $1500, you could put together a basic racer for little more than a CB160.

    My thoughts exactly.

    Only one problem: We need at least 3 bikes to have fun.

    No... not at all. From the racer standpoint it looks like a deal.

    I was referring the price he's asking for the business...

    I actually think this class has merit, but someone will have to take the plunge and be the first 250 racer. To convince the rest to follow. :lol:

    I would definitely be in for a 250 Ninja spec class..... My only worry with the CB160 class is availability of motorcycles and parts..... In the meeting I listened to people say they had a more then 1 but what would they sell one of there spares for????
