What do you guys think about the 450 super singles?

So looking around at track bikes and beginner info etc ran across this.. looks very interesting.

WERA 450

Just sounds like a fun and affordable way for someone a little older like me to get into track days and racing.

Er, I'd hit it?

THAT would make an awesome spec class....

I've seen em before and even thought of building one... :

I think using a GP chasis would make more sense. They would be nearly the perfect platform. I have been considering getting one made out of a TZ250 chasis. I would really like E-start, though... especially for trackday duties.

The beauty of that design is the cost though, take a bog standard 450 dirt bike, add a 600 front end, wheels, shock, rearsets and 250GP bodywork. No need to buy a frame or swingarm, etc.

Doc: If I find a cheap 250 or 450, guess what I'm doing with it? (Got a friend who can get 65+ hp out of a 450R motor, and it's dead nuts reliable being spun to piss as a flat track motor in a quad.)

Yes please and thank you! This thing looks like it would be fun to ride!
