g'day mate.
Firstly I have replied to your post about a race bike
I am sure mine would go to a good owner as I am a little too big to race the aircooleds.
ok - since you came to the right place
here is the low down.
Queensland do have a race club going and they do have set class rules... its huge so I'll post it under there.
For your buget and what not - aircooled would be the way to go and with my bike that I am offering you - you won't have to do anything to it as its got everything already!! (The other classes will mean thousands - go aircooled for the first race seasion and then upgrade if you want)
Saftey gear is a HUGE issue!! Always wear a helmet & saftey gear - skin loss hurts!!!
Here is the QLD racing rules - read them and post or pm me if you got questions
- Enjoy!!
The following Rules of racing are applicable to both Archerfield and Parklands for the 2006 Season. My bike that I am offering to sell fits in to class 4 ""4. PRO CHINESE AIRCOOLED (Junior and Senior) ""

5. Weaving at any time to break a draft or prevent a pass, reckless weaving for any purpose or dangerous or overly aggressive riding will result in the Clerk of Course or nominated official presenting a black flag to the racer in question.
