I need help with all things Motard related... although I've been riding motorcycles for 8 years, I haven't been on a dirtbike since I was 13... and I don't know a whole lot about them.
My Pops wants to get into racing and is considering doing the 'tard thing.
So...a couple of questions that first come to mind:
1 - Best bike to start with (do you need a 450 to race, will any 450 do)?
2 - What does it take to turn a stock 450 into a race 450
(I am asking about passing tech/being safe/what is needed to put it on the track, not all-out the fastest ever, top of the line everything)?
3 - What races are Motard's eligible for (any other than race #2 on Sunday)?
4 - Anybody have one for sale or know somebody who does?
5 - Anything he should consider specific to Motard vs. racing a different type of bike?
His main reason for leaning towards a Motard is riding position (he's getting close to 60yo with a bad back), and maybe the ability to switch it back to dirty riding.
TIA
