LIGHTWEIGHT

Grand Prix 250cc 2-strokes. The ultimate racing motorcycle. The result of six decades of evolution and the perfect mix of power, light weight, stiffness and precision.

But it takes real skill to extract top performance, from both rider and mechanic.

In fact, they're arguably the most fickle of machines, requiring real expertise to put together. Sadly, with the demise of the 250cc class in the World Championship in 2009 followed by the cessation of the 125cc class in 2011, it's knowledge that is slowly being lost.

Fortunately, for those that yearn for powerbands, plug chops and jetting, the Mountain Course will reverberate to the sounds and smells of the 250cc 2-strokes in the Lightweight TT.

And featuring alongside the exotic two stroke GP bikes, will be the Supersport 400cc bikes of that same 1990’s period, including machines such as the ZXR 400 Kawasaki, the FZR 400 Yamaha and the NC30 and RVF 400 Honda’s.
