For the price, a Derbi supermotard (senda extreme) seems like it would be a lot of fun on a kart track.
What do you guys think? Anyone ridden one before?
I moved to Redding and there's a track allowing supermotos... I don't think I should pass up a track that is directly across the airport where I work :ride
Also, anyone ridden the Redding track yet?
 
I've ridden a dozen of those little things many years ago and they were a blast! I helped the Rocket Ranch break in their fleet, and that was their bike of choice. So I guess the question is, how much? The closer you get to DRZ money, the more it makes sense to just get something you can use in other ways. Then again, I've seen them with a plate and you can pump them up rather easily.

On another note, a YZ 85 will eat it alive and will be easier to get parts for. It all comes back to, is it really cheap? Like $500?

when are they allowing SM's? I have friends up in that area and doing a trackday next time I visit wouldn't hurt.
 
I'm thinking i can eventually pick up a Derbi for about 1000. If i can find a rough drz or old Duke for 2000 i would do that. Or I may just go the mini sport bike route (rs50/gpr50...)

Here's a link about the track. It's already open and the only time you can't ride is when there's drag races or an organized kart race, i think. I just talked to the guy organizing this and it sounds like he's really excited about getting more people riding here.

Speaking of Rocket Ranch Derbi Sandas, Christine (Peter's ex) is selling hers. It's a 2003, I believe. PM me, and I will get you info and a price.
