I've had a lot of fun racing all the stuff I've done. But like Dave said above the AMA Non-Current class is a total blast. I'm really looking forward to that this year on the '92 RM250.
The vintage bikes seem easy to ride just because they have a low CG and turn well. That is as long as you don't try modern bike stuff on one. Cutty's YZ monoshock looks like it would be a blast to ride. Or maybe the way he rides that bike just makes it look so good.Can't say I favor any particular, but have probably had my best races so far in Vintage Sportsman 250 and 40+ class's on my 74 MX. The Evo class and Non Currents are naturally fast and able machines, but it requires a little more of the rider to make them older bikes go (so it seems to me).
Thanks k01! You are really bragging me up! But I think you are right I'm so short legged I can corner better on my old bikes than on my new bike! I think being short legged makes a person more aggressive because they know they have to keep the bike moving! My theory anyway!

My favorite class is the vintage 125 class. It's just a blast to ride.

Mike-Back when I started in 98, AHRMA had a great Mid-West series. OH, KY, IL, WI, MI-I had a blast racing 250 sportsman/30 plus expert on my 1973 C'zed 250. Do you know what year that Honda Hills pic was taken ?Ill second the 74 125.
Back in 1994 I got to race at some of the best tracks ever, Unadilla, Southwick, Road Atlanta, Hollister Hills, Steamboat, Peoria, Muddy Creek, Honda Hills, Putnam Park, just to name a few.
AHRMA was kinda new and working out the bike to be sano and reliable was a bit of a chore.
