Any Ninja 250 racers here?

[Sean]

Do you race a baby Ninja? I'm looking for a few people to interview about their experiences on 250s for a project I'm working on. Post up or PM me or something if you're willing to chat. Thanks!

Not yet but I'd love to be included in your research.

We just got a 250 spec class added to our CCS grid for 2012 and I'm thinking of picking one up.

A few guys I know here are the ones pulling the class together.

I've actually considered building a few to rent / loan to help fill the grids.

There was someone in SoCal who had a business renting them. Not sure how well it did -- I noticed him listing the business for sale a year or two ago.

I know the rentmyninja guys in Texas are no longer doing it.

I think these are the guys you are talking about: http://www.racebikerentals.com/

Based on the site they are still around. If I get serious about doing it, I'll reach out to them for input. Right now I'm wishing I had an extra 3 months to make it happen.

I tracked one for a while, wrecked it and never went back

I thought about it for awhile. Then someone let me ride their baby ninja. It was a better idea than reality. It's just not that fun to keep you going back. Have a ton more fun on my fiddy.

I agree, I rode Tiffany's several times and I was underwhelmed to say the least. I've had more fun on a shifter cart.

I think if you could find a go cart road course that would let you run mid size mini motards up to wr250x size, that would be 1000x more fun than baby ninjas. Wish i could find that here. Hope our new kart track opens and gets that going.

Hell, the carts we rode a couple years ago were more fun.

I rather run a moto though, the fiddy races at deals gap are a shit ton of fun.
