Well done Billy, its a good thing you are doing and I hope some teenager's or dad's out there will spend the coin to get their boy or girl racing.

[ajturbo]

hey Billy.. as a novice, i would like to know if the one set of tyres would last the series ??

[Billy]

hey Billy.. as a novice, i would like to know if the one set of tyres would last the series ??

I wouldnt have said you were a novice,Just a slow old bastard,Bwahahahahaha,

But seriously,Yes,Jared Pike did 7 meetings on a set last year culminating in the Manfeild round of the Nats and was still circulating in the low 1.27s.

Short of crash damage,There should be no need to touch the bike again all year

[Kiwi Graham]

Awesome job Billy, lets hope some young talent is discovered as a result of your efforts mate

[SWERVE]

Sounds a good deal Billy.............good on ya for taking the punt. About time there was some action instead of just words!

[slowpoke]

Blardy hell Billy, you're a machine! Fingers crossed that you get the response to reward your effort. There's no cheaper way of racing and would be a fuggin' hoot.

[Racey Rider]

Well done Billy for getting behind the class.

Can you point me in the direction online where it shows Prolites will be a 2011 national championship class? Or are we incouraging a group of prolites into F3/super lights? I can't find class info on the MNZ web site.

Thanks.

[rabidnz]

just a question? why would someone pay 4500 to hire a hobag, when you can buy all out an rg150 ready to go? they seem to be pretty close in straight line speed, with the rg pwning the corners.? Just for comfort of a bigger frame?

Let the guy be he is trying to promote racing

Good point,As Ivan has pointed,Thats purchase price not lease,But the best reason outside of that is,As I understand it the 150 streetstock bikes will be allowed to run in the Prolite class but NOT score points towards the National championship.

Thanks for the support Alex,The rules are in the pipeline and are waiting to be ratified by the MNZ board before being posted on the MNZ website,September 1st is the proposed date for the new rules too be confirmed

Whoa back there young fella!Thanks for the support but this person raises a valid point and it is an open forum.

Im sure Im not going too please everybody and to be honest,I dont really care.If it gets 1 or 2 more bums on seats then Im happy,If not I will just take the $30,000.00 Ive invested and bugger off somewhere else.

maybe my words sounded harsher than I intended?? I was just trying to say encouragement of something like this should be welcomed but the way I read the wording posted was he was calling your bikes shit (Im sorry if you take this the wrong way whoever you are who posted it),

[Ivan]

also you have to look the RG's are old they are not making them new any more and most fo them have had the living daylights thrashed out of them, Most require rebuilds from what i have been reading as of lately maybe its streetstockers getting carried away butas a initial ammature class you dont want to be worrying about the bike going bang you want to be able to get out there get your bum on the seat and get time on the track then go up to 125 etc were you need to worry about performance and longivity, I am not saying either that a streetstock bike should be raced and parked up you should treat it as per any racebike bring it home from the meeting clean it check everything is fine service the oils etc check brake pads the lot

From what I have seen the Hyosung 250 is a pretty cool looking bike and especially if you are going to move up to pro twins the experience riding a baby v twin with a wider frame is going to help out, the RG is also a great bike I raced one loved it, but as I have said they are a old bike now

[wayne]

good on you billy..........................

[sl8er4lyf]

sent you an email mate, excellent to see a way in finally, i've been searching and money is always my issue

[Wingnut]

Well I now know where my fairings will be going when the suffer some damage or require a colour change. Nice one:Punk:

[quallman1234]

Cool billy, thats cheap. Might have to convince my bro, to change classes.

[rabidnz]

sorry missed that important word, sale :)
I wasnt trying to bag anyway, in fact i think its an awesome idea, as I'd love to have a go on a track, where i dont have to be so sensible.
How much does it cost to hire out a bike for a trackday?

The plan for the 250s is to have them available for the national series initially,They will then be next available for the winter series,

However we do have a bunch of 150s available for other use,Although Im not sure a trackday is the right place for a streetstock machine as the speed differential with a superbike/600 is frightening,Id rather see them tried out in streetstock at a race meeting,Assuming I was going to be there anyway,Cost would be minimal (just entry fee and fuel) assuming you dont wreck the thing,Cause you will be liable for any crash damage

[Billy]

Due to an increased interest these bikes are now going too be made available for the AMCC rounds,There are 2 left for that series plus 4 x150 2 strokes,For more lease details contact me through www.racefairings.co.nz

There are 3 still left for the National rounds in the South Island

Good on you billy for getting behind the class, ill be doing the 2011 championship and i hope there will be a few down south too. Awsome bikes to ride, for anyone that hasnt riden one you have to give it ago.....you'd be suprised how well they go.

Looking at the MNZ website they have finalised the regs for 2011 at last but no mention of prolites?

So,Our first outing with these bikes was AMCC RD1 at Hampton Downs,After a hectic week of preparation we finally got off the ground with Simon Vollmer and Tim Porter leasing bikes for their first ever roadrace meeting,Both had a ball and seemed to really enjoy the day and took anything that came their way with ease and are now keen to do rd2 at Pukekohe.For further details see our race report

[gav]

Its a great idea, anytime some new bikes can be set up like this has to be commended. Have been a few Prolites turning up with the 150 S/S's down here, and we have also had F4 (buckets) running with them too. How are the Hyosung doing in comparison to the 250 Ninja? How much to lease one for a SI round?

[Racey Rider]

>How are the Hyosung doing in comparison to the 250 Ninja?

Aaron and I had some great close racing at PSS r1 this weekend. (Manfeild)
Him on the Ninja (ex250), me on the Hyosung (GT250r - Carbed model).

I found the bikes very similar in performance. The only way past down the straights, was getting on the gas earlier than he, and Drafting.

It was close exciting racing, plenty of lead changes - and the result not confirmed till the chequered flagged dropped. Just the way racing is suppose to be.

What's that you ask? Who won?

Well for the record seen you asked :corn: ..... I beat the Kawasaki rider 2 out of 2 on this occasion. Next round might be different.
But then in the second race we were both given the learn by the rider on the on gpx250.

Come join the party!

Dam i would of loved to be there~!, you all should come up for puke or the next hampton round, ill be there at taupo whenever it is.

But then in the second race we were both given the learn by the rider on the on gpx250.So racing the mighty GPX isn't a bad idea after all!

[woodyracer]

so billy what 250's will you be taking to puke next weekend?

[Billy]

so billy what 250's will you be taking to puke next weekend?

Possibly none,As Im sure your aware Tim Porter was tragically killed last week at HD,Rachel is away at Valencia leaving only Simon Volmer who has indicated he will let me know one way or the other tonight

[RideLife]

I still see Nothing on the MNZ web site. Any word on whats going on Billy?

[Billy]

Yeah,For some reason they are only available at this stage on NZSBK as are the entry forms for the South Island rounds

[oyster]

Production Light
Rule 22-13. Has been there for a year at least.

Nothing in "proposed rule changes", so after overwhelming submissions saying "don't stuff with something working so well" I assume they've canned the proposals to change heaps per the draft I saw posted a 5 or so months ago.

The commission felt something was broken, but were told clearly the only broken thing is the broken arses of club leaders and riders who fail to contribute anything to fostering Junior RR

I suggested MNZ refuse a few permits now and again to clubs who were not adhering to the first rule in the book, see page minus 2, "Fostering the sport...
I know of only one club making an effort. Let me know if there are any others!

Thanks Pete,My browser wont access chapter 22 for some reason and I was of the impression the old rules had been removed when the new rules were posted up for the coming season

[oyster]

No worries Billy. I think the Production Light rules are fine after a first season try out. Most importantly they seem to mesh in well with the varied needs around the country, including racing amongst the existing 150's.
I'm sure looking forward to seeing your team and efforts come South for the Nats.
Well done Billy and much appreciated.

Yip,I think Jared Pike and young Seth proved last year,If theyre ridden properly they can be alot of fun and theres been some good racing between Max Woodruffe/Ken Dobson and Blair Mason at the AMCC rounds as well,Regretfully the Bulk of the North islanders appear to be happy getting within 5 secs of a good laptime and think theyve outgrown the class and move on to nowhere.We are currently making good progress with young Simon Volmer from Auckland,Only done 3 racedays and 2 test days and Im picking hed beat most of if not all the guys that competed at the Actrix series.Hes totally dedicated to the cause to the point hes trying to rake up the money to do the South Island rounds after Xmas,Best move Ive seen from anybody from the NI streetstock/club scene since I sent young Alex Bowers your way.

[oyster]

In the past the southern Streetstock community has provided bikes, training and support to young northerners Sam Smith, Glen Skatchill, Avalon Biddle, Kenneth Jones, Luke Jamieson, La Salle Carr and Dan Mettam. The "welcome mat" is out for any more you want to send down, any time.

[Billy]

OK,Weve got 6 bikes now going to the South Island for the Nationals in our transporter,2 are still available for lease,$1050.00 gets you a raceprepped machine capable of winning the inaugaral Prolite 250 NZ Championship,The bike will be transported to all three rounds in the South Island for that price and all you need do is enter it for each round and transport/feed yourself,Total estimated cost for a North Islander $2000.00,For that you can win a New Zealand championship,Less than the cost of tyres for a Superbike for 1 round.

IT just doesnt get any easier or more affordable than this

[Str8 Jacket]

I am soooo tempted Billy, but I am probably a bit old, you looking for younger riders I am assuming!?

as you can see I live in Asia.and im here to tell you that the Honda NSR 150 and the Kawasaki KR150,among others, are still being made brand new,and available througout asia.(I was in the factory last week)

The Suzuki RG 150 is not still made as far as I know,but the truth is it is a distributor(NZ) decision not to import them rather than a lack of machinery available from the factories.
I am a huge fan of the 150 class in NZ,and if there are any parts you guys need to keep them running feel free to drop me a line,I will do what i can to help,there are parts readily available here

[Billy]

We still have 3 bikes available to Lease for the Hyosung cup and the 2012 National series,These machines will be provided delivered to the track ready to race.Plus if everything goes to plan for the new proposed "Ultra Lite 250"class at the Tri series.
