Getting in to racing.

[Guest]

I am looking at getting in to club level motorbike racing purely for fun. I have raced downhill mountain bikes for many years and raced cars in everything up to nutty single seaters classes. But am a total novice when it comes to motorbike. I don't even have a big bike license. So am just looking for a little advice on where to get started. I was thinking 125 as I have seen there are quite a few clubs running them but was told they do tend to pop and are rather slow. Though the guy telling me this had raced a R1 for many years so I guess most things would be slow to him. He recommended getting a medium size bike and try a year of track days on that just to get the swing. Then if I like that go strait in to bigger bikes. Any thoughts or advice is most welcome.

Thanks
