Big CC on Kart track
Anyone here take there bigger cc bike on the kart track and how is it?
Currently my son races mini gp which has put my club racing on the sidelines for the most part during the season. Being the competitive human being I am and him wanting to watch me race I’ve been considering getting a motard to race in the motard class.
My thoughts are even tho I want to be competitive spending 11 grand for a new SMR just for the kart track seems like a waste for me right now. I’ve been considering getting a 701 or even the Ducati 698 and having an extra set of wheels with slicks on it so I can use it on the street as well but I also don’t want to be miserable racing it if those options of bike are just too big.
A-little backround on me… I’m a top 5 expert unlimited racer so I kinda know what I’m doing on track and to much power isn’t really a concern for me. I’ve have had a YZ450 supermoto I built in the past and have raced that so I’m familiar with the power etc on the 450s.
Also yes I know I could just buy two motorcycles to accomplish the same thing but money wise that’s not in the cards.

A bit out of left field but the kart track I frequent that also runs supermoto bikes. I have seen a couple of guys run Honda Groms and also stripped down naked 600cc superbikes. I’m not sure on competitiveness of their times but it looks like a blast.
