Looking for recommendations

Postby smileandwave » Tue Aug 15, 2023 9:01 am

Hey folks
Looking for some recommendations on a good starter race bike that is smaller displacement and would be a relatively reasonably priced gateway drug for racing
Go!

thanks

Kawasaki EX500, don't have one for sale, but a great place to start.

Have fun,
Colin

Hmm...Purchase an already built reliable race bike (helps if from a VRRA member), from a Period and manufacturer that attract you, perhaps with a smaller displacement (unless you're comfortable with more power), for which parts are relatively easy to get, and is easy to work on. I know, complicated answer!

The machines already mentioned are good choices (Kawi EX500 and Honda CB350).

I'll add the Honda Hawk to the list.

Contact Dave Mascioli for his race ready Hawk if it is still available.
