This is just my perspective, and YMMV:
A TAG helps me improve my driving skills; I have more fun in a shifter. Either way it is a blast!Good call on frame flat spotting! I checked it out, and sure enough – no good. I let this one go. BTW, thanks to all for great advice, including the PMs!!!
Another thing I was wondering about: do the 125 moto karts retain their power valves?
I came across a shifter with a KGB Phoenix chassis from early 2000’s with a ’96 CR125 in the low $2000 range. It doesn’t have any gauges or data acquisition, the body is a little rough, but supposedly the chassis is straight. I am thinking it might be a good starter kart. Any thoughts?
BTW, it has vented brakes – any opinion on vented vs. solid vs. drilled discs?

I just realized I missed a couple of your questions in your original post.

If you buy a stock Honda…
Are there any particular years to stay away from, or any range to shoot for? Would mid-90’s vintage be too old to consider?
Thnx

[…] I’d have to agree w/ Jeff re. the potential value of starting in TAG when learning the basics of driving.
Yeah, this is one of the reasons why I am contemplating going the TAG route – the horse power doesn’t get in the way of learning the technique.

Also, so, you only have a million questions? That’s about a million less than I’ve had and continue to have.
I was only referring to the million I know of; I wasn’t counting the ones that I don’t even know about yet….like “What the heck do ICC and DD2 stand for?”… :loony: 😀

BTW, Rain Man, what’s your actual name? (Don’t say Dustin Hoffman, I’m not *that much of a rookie…)
Not that type of Rain Man 😆 – I got the name due to the fact that most of my top three finishes were in the rain (and we got plenty of it in the Southeast – probably good 25% of the time in Daytona, Moroso, Roebling Road, and Road Atlanta)
Oh, right, the name: Jerry
Thanks Sheldon

[…] I would strongly recommend the Stock Honda class.
Thanks – you have confirmed my gut feeling. I am a huge fan of KISS classes – Keep It Stock, Stupid – my extensive and expensive mods to my Honda CBR600 taught me a lesson on that one.
Thanks for taking time to demystify this stuff. Just out of curiosity: what do ICC and DD2 stand for? I can make a wild guess that DD2 stands for Direct Drive 2-speed, but ICC….?
