Hi all.
After finishing the 400/4 bike(with some minor modificiations to do), i am looking for a new project. Not a resto this time, but interested in building (and racing) a racer.
So for this category(sub 500cc, and sub 1981 year), what would be the best pick?
Has anyone been racing in this oldtimer class, any experience?
I am in the dilemma:
1) Honda 400/4 - here is plenty to work with, maybe go with the 466kit? the frame is different than the 500/550? different for worse or better?
2) Honda 500/4 - no replacement for displacement, right? even so, is this better option(regarding the transmission issues) for racing than the 466 option?
3) Anything else that i am not seeing as an option(XS500, Z500?), but as far as I can see,the power output is arround the same, but with Hondas I am most familiar with, and the parts are widely available. Any other option?
Any advice would be greatly appriciated, before i jump into a project with the wrong base
Thanks,
Kristijan
