Honda is bringing a 250 for race only... but it's not cheap like the 125 counter part.

That's Hondas replacement for the RS125, which is/was a pretty popular race bike. Make no mistake, it's purely a race bike and not a toy like the CBR. 44 horses doesn't sound like a lot until you realize that the bike only weighs 160 lbs...

The RS250's even more awesome-92 hp and 200 lbs.

that little race track looks fun. one thing now that i am really unsure of is getting the racing permit. all the tracks look like they have courses to get these permits. but are they all the same? can i use this permit anywhere? i tho it would be fun i will probly end up going to a bigger course as my buddy that lives up in fort mac who i will be riding with (and going to the track with) has a 636, so i dont think he will like small track to much. gotta learn how to go drag racing to, my sisters friend laughed at my bike when i told him it had 50hp. i asked him if he wanted to race for slips. because he has a turbo ed bmw, but we are just doing $50 some time this summer at bud park.


I'm pretty sure that when you go for the race school at Stratotech or Race City, you get a CMA or CMRC license, which should let you race at any properly sanctioned track in Canada. I don't have my road race license(and my motocross one is currently expired)so I'm just guessing. But you better sign up fast, if you want to go this year. Or you could just show up and do track days, which don't require a race license.

As for which track is better, I've asked a few riders, they all have different opinions. It doesn't seem to matter what size of machine they ride, either. It's just personal preference, whether you like big speed or a technical track. And Castrol Bud Capital Labatt whatever they call it now Raceway Park has a road course coming on as well. Personally, I think that any track is good.
