Hey Fontyyy, thanks for the pic Very Happy That was actually an F3 motor that I'd thrown together the weekend before the race and was hand carried down. The rest of the bike was a bit of a dog, but didn't go too bad. Definitely annoyed the other blokes, which was why we did it.

I've ridden/raced 250's and 400's of all specs. I still hold the 250cc SP lap records at both the main circuits in Thailand (because they don't run the class any more Wink ), but I could only get within a second of my 250 time on an SP/F3 ZXR400SP. It was fast without a doubt (75hp on the brake), but you just couldn't throw it around like the NSR. One major difference is that a lot of people can ride a 400 fast, but a 250 ain't as easy. The 400 is more stable and you can sometimes get away with being a gear wrong in the turn, or a tooth out down the straight, both of which are unforgivable on a rip-snorting 250.
