[QUOTE="markthomps, post: 825278, member: 18626"] Most of the vintage events race the same tracks but with changes to accomodate the shorter rear suspension of the vintage stuff. For the Post-Vintage (newer) bikes, a modern track isn't usually that difficult as you have enuf suspension. You need to attend a specific vintage race. I'm not sure what's left on the District 14 schedule, but the Casey IL round in early October is one of the best places around to race vintage. This will be the first year I'll miss it, due to shoulder surgery. The '78-79 Honda CR250s are very good bikes, few flaws. The '74 Elsinores however, unless modified, tend to be rather fragile. They need quite a few things to make them reliable. If you want to talk to someone who really knows them, let me know as I can point you their way. As for vintage 250s, I wouldn't completely agree with the list posted by someone. The YZ is okay, but needs a good rider and parts are pricey. An Elsinore is the best of the Jap vintage bikes, once properly set up; a Maico or CZ is the best of the Euro vintage stuff. Join AHRMA for a start and come to at least one vintage race first and talk to people. Lots of opinions but you can see for yourself what bikes interest you and what's working. This is good fun and a great way to spend your kids' inheritance. I know I have. [/QUOTE]
