Much to the chagrin of my already-bulging garage, I am kicking around the idea of mini moto racing. It is just a wild hair I am looking into, but there are some things I am trying to figure out.
1) A Chinese-made 150 4 stroke with decently upgraded suspension - can it be competitive with the two-strokers in the respective classes? The F3-F5 classes seem to be dominated in the standings by the 2 strokes but I don't know if that means they are just that much better or happen to be ridden by veteran riders who stole their kid's 65cc KTM and are flogging it on the track.
2) Where the hell does one get wheels for the road racing tires? It looks like the ones that typically come on these bikes are maybe too narrow and come in 14"/12" sizes but 12" are preferred for this zany activity. I would actually like to have the dirty wheels/tires combo in case I would like to get on a trail while camping or something, so if anyone has any beads on replacement hoops AND hubs, please chime in.
Thanks for any and all input. Just don't tell my garage what I am up to.
