What kind of bike did you race and when?

Lots of history here on the beeb. I've never really thought about making a list of all the bikes I raced, so thought I would do it before my memory is completely gone.

Started racing about 1987 with ARRA/AFM South

1984 Yamaha RZ350
1980 Yamaha TZ250
1989 Yamaha FZR400
2002 Aprilia RS250 Challenge Cup
2008 Yamaha R6
1999 Yamaha TZ250
1997 Yamaha TZ250
2008 Kawasaki Ninja 250R
2010 H-D XR1200R
2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300R
2016 KTM RC390 Cup

 

1991 FZR600 - what a pile. Bought for $400. Wish I’d kept it
1999 SV650
2004 GSXR600

2014 R6

 

2000 R6
2007 R1
2004 ZX6R
2007 GSXR 600

Very little variety, I’m considering another track bike and wondering if I’d like an SV after always riding I4’s. Probably end up with another I4.

 

1996-1997 - ZX7 '93
1999-2001 - ZX6R '95
2009-2011 - ZX6R '07
2012-2017 - ZX6R '09

But to answer the question: (starting in 1997)
RD400
FZR400

Short racing career

I refuse to equate what I did between green and checkered flags to what actually accomplished riders did.

Show a little respect you buncha poseurs!

 

1994-1996 - 1991 Bandit 400
1995-1997 - Honda Ascot / FZR400 Hybrid.

2013-2017 - 2005 ZX-6R
Current
1999 SV650 endurance
custom framed SV650

 

Another short racing career.
1998-2001 1997 Yamaha YZF-600R
Ole Yamaha wasn't the best for a track bike, but we made into a decent racer.

 

1990 FZR 400 raced for 3 years, from 2009 to 2011 - most easy bike to ride, trash and go fast around a track I ever owned/rode. I never rode another bike as hard or as well in my entire riding "career".

 

Uh oh...someone never got rid of the orange shirt

 

WSMC 1999 - 2000 - mostly stock 1st gen EX-500...like stock forks, shock, etc...no belly pan era. 16" tires
WSMC - 2003 - 2007 - CBR F3, built SBK EX500, SV650 SBK, Ascot
WERA - 2008-2011 or 12 - EX500, SV650

 

1973 Hodaka Super Rat
1975 -- 1978 RM 125s
1994 CBR 600
2001-2003 SV 650s
2003 KTM EXC 525
2006-2008 Kawasaki Ninja 650s

 

FZR 400 clapped out as shit with various mismatched bodywork on it. I sucked.

I keep telling myself I'll get back on a track. Only need time and money.

 

Couple years of MX around '82-83 on a KDX80 then KX80

Starting late 2001 with AHRMA, then moved to WERA 2003, still racing Endurance
2001 SV650
03 SV
2-3 more SV's
99 R6
12 CBR250
12 675
16 R3 x2
3 more SV's

Guess I just need a liter bike to complete the set... but more likely to get a 400 or a Kramer if finances allow.

 

Some lose the orange shirt through accomplishment.

Some through attrition.

And yet others lose it through abrasion.

 

WMRRA
2005-2006 2001 RC51
2006-2008 2006/7 CBR1000RR
2008-2009 2008 CBR1000RR

Ended 2009 with a heavy crash and stopped racing because my son was just born.

He's 13 now, I really should go race again!
