I seem to have acquired a race/track bike.

I already had an FZR400, but it's a bit of a shed, but have just picked up a rolling frame and engine of another, identical FZR400 which has an engine that "isn't standard" and came from the IOM.

I'm in the process of building one good, out of the two, and stockpiling a load of the spares that I've accu,mulated in the process.

I've just been offered another FZR400 rolling chassis, 2 engines, some spare wheels and various boxes of bits, and it would be stupid to refuse them. This one is also an ex-race bike, and is in reasonable nick, and a mild state of tune.

Soo.. now that I've got a reasonably suitable machine and a load of spares.. what race series would a 1990 FZR400 be suitable for?

I'm thinking about 2008 or even '09 as I'm skint this year, but I hope t get it ready and rebuilt for my trackday next month. (just have to do chains and sprockets, brakes, clocks, bodywork, exhaust and check the cooling system)

It's not really going to stand a chance in SS400 in Bemsee, against mainly ZXRs, NC30s and RS250s.

I'd start looking at some of the 'lesser' clubs like darley moore or derby phoenix (obviously geography is a facter). But I know of several people who run FZR400s in road stocks.

It should do fine in Rookie 400 / Clubman 400 where rider skill is a bit important, I'd have thought. Similar for the club level new era etc.

Think people have got some FZRs quite highly tuned, so could be competitive still, though it is mostly ZXRs that are properly competitive ridden by very fast riders.

Aren't they one of the more powerful 400's?
