The hint to winning city races is to use a street bike as often as possible, because if you use L1 when you go around turns, you barely even need to hit the brakes. If you race enough with the street bikes, you will come to love the handling of a bike. The best bike is the FACTORY, the A class street bike once you get the upgrades for it, it will fly, not literally though.

When the is300 dub tournament opens up it may be hard to beat because you have to make a lap in a certain amount of time and if you are not realy good this will be verry difficult. Instead wait until the Ducati ss1000 bike tournament opens, win it, then go back and get the is300. It is much easyer to manuver around the turns with this. Remember to use the lean button.
