Hello all, my nephew has a kawi 110 that he built for NJMP(not sure what class). anyway, i was at the AMA this week and got the bug. I love running my Gixxer but wanted something that me the wife and son (4yr old) can do together. I realy like the look of the NSR but my nephew seems to think with where i live Pine Grove, PA.. i would be better off building a dirtbike style so i can use it for both dirt and track. i am 41yrs old 5'10" and 180lbs Now my question: what class can i run, should i run? What bike works best for eack class? what can i look to spend on a bike? i know they are basic questions but i dont have the time to research myself and figure you guys are the experts when it comes down to it. Thanks
Im a 2stroke guy myself, but the 4s dirt bike style seems to be the choice of most. as far as classes go, look up the club your going to race with and they should have a break down of classes and cc limits. xr100's are a popular bike and easy to get on the track cost wise. 800 ish for the bike an xr 80 front wheel and a set of street tires is about all you need. If your want to work on corner speed or prep the little one for big bikes then go with the nsr.
Xr100 all the way. I bought one for $400 with a spare parts bike that had an engine in it. They are cheap, bomb proof, tough as nails, and PLENTY of performance parts.
What about the CRF100? and is there a difference between that and the CRF100F? i found a good deal on an 04xl but it isnt running and the guy said it needsvalves and "no title" ???
All the 100s are basically the same bike. The CRF bodywork is just more modern. It takes an incredible amount of abuse to make a honda 100 quit running. The rest of the bike will probably be trashed too. You should be able to buy a good clean runner for less than the cost of buying and repairing someone else's problem.
Like nigel said, Crf and post 95 XR are virtually the same bikes. Look for a good clean runner. Mine needed an exhaust valve but I already had another parts engine so I wasn't worried. But if you are starting from scratch look for a bike that runs. The XR/Crf are great bikes that will teach you to hit your marks on the track. And they are tons of fun to throw around.
well, i picked up an06 CRF100 cheap. now all i need is a front rim and tires and to find out when there are practice days. Our son (almost 4) already wants to follow mom around the yard on his PW50, so thats a good sign
What's everyone's thoughts on an extremely low mileage '00 KX60? Little thing is stupid fast for the size. Of course, I'm a sissy
get the kx60 you will want to swap out the front wheel from 14" to 12" for better tire choices. then you can come play in the parking lots w/us
Already have it. Been sitting in my garage collecting dust for awhile. Had thought about racing it but kind of dismissed the idea with so many other things (racing) on my plate and also not knowing if it'd even be competitive. It's a noisy little monster, that's for sure!
If your going to run with NJMiniGP and race with them they have a stock 100 class, all you need is tires!
How far are you from Dulles Airport? (Sterling, VA). There will be eight events at an indoor go kart track this winter. Roughly fifty riders show up. You will get great tack time and be totally exhausted when you're done. Cost is $50-$60. Let me know if you want more info. Monty
