Not me...yet. But I'm curious how many are actually doing it. I've talked to a couple that are.

Perfect timing, I was going to post asking, where are all the 250/300 race bikes? I've only seen a couple for sale.

Anyone building one, please post up a build thread. It would be much appreciated.

There's a well sorted CBR 250 for sale. PM me if you're interested. I can get you in touch with the seller.
 
i'm interested. I wonder how much that csbk kit is going to cost.

Does anybody here have a cost breakdown / budget per race?
 
I rode the 300 at Mosport RDT on Friday, part of the Kawasaki demo day. It was so much fun! Cool little bike for short tracks. Rode the ZX-10 after the 300 and it steered like a freighter compared. LOL...

We've spent some time looking at 250/300 prices since Friday ;)
 
Hey DaveTheCanuck, other than what my novice eyes can see (race plastics and grips) what have you done. Better, yet what do you plan to do to it....unless it's a competitive secret.
 
now that I need new fairings, I'm thinking about this as well...
 
DaveTheCanuck,

I assume that's from Hotbodies, how is the fit and finish?

Do it up guys, we need big grids for the 300 production class:)

I'll be buying/building one as well.

So far not much. Stripped all the unnecessary electrical and hard parts that aren't needed for track (I still want to find a lighter exhaust and get rid of the right passenger peg).

Front forks have racetech springs in them. I have a rear shock from a 2006 GSXR-600 that I'll be swapping on, I'm just waiting for a collar/spacer from racetech to come in so I can install a proper Eibach spring for my weight. SS brake lines, R6 throttle tube... not much else performance wise... yet.

DaveTheCanuck,

These are Armour Bodies; quality and finish is fantastic. The fit of the Hotbodies for the 300 is absolute crap, I wouldn't waste my money on that.

Right now the bodywork is just sitting on the bike, I haven't actually drilled or mounted it yet, so we'll see what the final fit is like, but so far it seems pretty good. The tail might need a bit of convincing to sit flush with the undertail though.

It's done. I have purchased my green Ninja 300. Thank you to everyone that helped with their opinions in the other threads as well. I like that Armour Bodies is a Canadian company, I will definitely go with them.
 
I have been putting in the time converting a KTM RC390 street bike into a road race bike. I think that very people appreciate how much time and energy has to go into converting a modern street bike into a road racer or track day weapon. Modern street bikes have compacted power units/fuel injection/air boxes/wiring that make taking things apart extrememely time consuming. Those who do it for a living (like Ben G) make it look easy and deserve the bucks they charge for doing it. Trust me it is a ton of work. If you want to race and you have the choice of a fully converted race bike VS a stock street bike...you would be nuts to go with the street bike. Look for a bike that has already been converted. My 2 cents. parillaguy
