View Full Version : Pre '95?

I've heard that there is now a class for pre 1995 racing in Australia, so I'm wondering who else would run in the same class here?

I really think it should be pre 1996 to allow the first decent gixxer that was released after 1986, but that's just 'cause I'm a Suzuki fan.

If this class started I'd be able to run my dirty RF and not be totally outclassed by good bikes in F1 at club rounds.

Anyone else keen/realised this section of KB existed?

As a side note, a little birdie tells me that Anthony Bradford is coming back to race pre 89 on a dedicated race bike this time. Better get your shit in one sock proper Paul and Glen!

Tell ya what i'd like to see, no good to you tho...is a pre 1000's superbike class. It'd be cool to see all the old 750's and sub thou Vtwins thrashing it out again.
I think pre '89 has had it's day, it's time to move the bar forward a bit...maybe even pre '99....that's still 10+ year old bikes...

It always annoyed me that I couldn't run my 93 YZF750SP in a class for similar bikes. It would always end up in F1, which was a serious pain in the arse.

However some useless dickless fuckwit relieved me of that particular problem.

It'll be good seeing Sugilite out there again. This time he won't be turning up, changing the tyres, racing then changing the tyres to ride home again.

Awww c'mon mate there's always clubbies for the square peg in round hole type bikes......but I reckon it would end up being a Fireblade benefit class, with a 17" front wheel and decent rubber they'd murder 916's and ZXR750's etc.

So has Anthony finally got round to chucking all that lovely TKA gear at his ZXR? Heehee, things could be heating up this Winter Series.

Pre89 has hardly even started it wasn't even a "official" class until not long ago

Everyone wants a class to race the bikes they own in, soon we'll have to have week long meetings to fit all the classes in:facepalm:

Lol, yeh...to a point. I just reckon the range of 90's bikes that are good to go without swapping wheels and completely shagged suspension is a lot better. BTW, I don't have a bike to fit these classes either.... but would be very tempted to get one again...

I know that pre 89 hasn't been going that long, and I agree that pre 95 will be a blade fest, but no one pays any attention to Honda fags anyway, so it'll be the first bike home that isn't a CBR that gets the cred.

What about the ZX7? They were kickin arse in wsbk for years. The blade made f-all more power too, and I'll bet a 7R will give it a run for it's money anyday :yes: And the YZF 750 too. But that's sorta my point, the class would need the SRAD too ('96 on and easily as fast as the blade) then you'd have a great range of bikes to pick from. :woohoo:

Only 1 from memory, or that may have been the zxr. But they held a shiteload of top speed records all over the place....so no lack of hp....

Correct. Scotty Russel (Mr Daytona) did it on a ZXR. Top speed's worth fuck all son, you know that.

The point is they don't lack much in the power dept. My mates one was just over 120hp at the rear, and I'm pretty sure (old fella...memory lapses etc) the average blade (and they varied a lot from 1 to the next) was only around 129 at the rear. The blades were a bloody good allrounder roadbike, but the track is very different (as you well know )

And as YOU well know, I look very forward to throwing my SRAD up against your mates ZX7R.

Listen big (old) fella, when have you ever been overtanken on your SRAD by a ZX7? Didn't think so, I rest my case. They're crap.

Weeelllll, actually, yes, his ZX7 was a touch faster than the SRAD, on the road at least. Tho not much.

Haha, the 'blade was 20kg's lighter than a fat ol' ZXR750, that's what made it so revolutionary. A lil' more hp, a lot more torque, and 20kg's less to lug, if you wanna be up the pointy end you'll be spending up large on the 750.

Yeh, maybe for minefeild, but I still reckon you'd be in with a good chance. But that's really the point, there's lots more competitive 90's bikes to pick from than 80's. The only real competitive ones are really the very late 80's models, or earlier one's with a shiteload of money tipped into them.

Yep, the aussies do have a pre'95 class (they call it pre-modern) and they were running it in the same race as the pre'89's at the Barry Sheene Festivall of Speed earlier this month.

There's a lot of time and effort that goes into setting up a new class and sorting the rules out, so if your interested, then come along to the NZPCRA and get it put on the agenda for the AGM (not sure if the date has been announced for this yet).
In fact, why not put your hand up to be involved on the NZPCRA board, and then you can take on setting the class up yourself:yes:

Oh yeah, and ex WSB ZXR750 was kicking ass at the the BSFOS (and that's a hard thing for a Yamaha racer to admitt):facepalm:

The PCRA of NSW cater for and run a Pre Modern class (pre 96) in Formula 1 & 2. They run in with P6 New Era (pre 89) and get 45 - 50 bikes on the grid at every round!

The 2010 Pre Modern F1 Champ runs a ZX7RR which is a fully blown Ex Factory World Superbike Kawasaki! A fast bike with a class rider!

The 2010 New Era Champ runs a FRZ 1000 which is an Factory Malboro Yamaha Dealer Team Superbike.

There is usually some close racing between the classes which makes for great viewing!

Gidday there Nigel - this is the man who has Mick Doohans Malboro factory FZR, and man can he ride it!!!!!

Pleasure to meet you and your partner at the BSFOS, and I hope you'll get this side of the Tasman at some stage for some racing, and if you don't this year, we'll catch up with you at Eastern Creek.

Cheers Nigel. Good to know the classes are full up and providing strong entertainment.

I'd really love to race an SRAD gixxer in a competitive environment.

Yes, I'm making progress on the bike, racing tail piece on the way from the UK and the motor will be being built for me in a few weeks, but it's still a way off from getting on the track.

I know it looks like I'm a complete Kawasaki nut, but I've actually owned more suzukis, and if I were to build whatI view as the ultimate bike for this class, it would prob not be ZXR750, as good as they are lol :shutup:


Tell ya what i'd like to see, no good to you tho...is a pre 1000's superbike class. It'd be cool to see all the old 750's and sub thou Vtwins thrashing it out again.

Personally, I feel pre89 is just starting to heat up, all sorts of names and machines coming out of the wood work, Eddie Kattenburg was getting faster and faster on that FZR1000 he picked up. I hear Terry Fitzgerald is building a trick RG500 for the class, how I'd love to get on a bike like that and ring it's neck!!! lol



It'll be good seeing Sugilite out there again. This time he won't be turning up, changing the tyres, racing then changing the tyres to ride home again.
Yeah, my wife thought she was buying a van to get stock for her summer markets, looks suspiciously like a race transporter to me lol


Awww c'mon mate there's always clubbies for the square peg in round hole type bikes......but I reckon it would end up being a Fireblade benefit class, with a 17" front wheel and decent rubber they'd murder 916's and ZXR750's etc.

Its a world superbike kit from kawasaki. The head is sposed to be really trick too.
It is a way off being finished, maybe the 2nd half of the Actrix, we will see.


Pre89 has hardly even started it wasn't even a "official" class until not long ago

your only saying that because the South Island bike shops have only just now received pre 89's as new stock :Pokey:


Really? You got a short memory "Fanta pants"? How many WSBK championshipds did that Z7R win?

Yep, just the one championship, but run under nz postie type rules, that model can go out to 850cc plus with a mish mash of pistons and rods from other models, and zx9R motors are pretty much bolt in. Sill won't beat a well set up 7/11 though. :sherlock:

Hi Nigel,
It was a pleasure to meet you (and watch you disappear in to the distance, normally at the first turn, lol):yes:
I look forward to coming over to Eastern Creek again sometime.
Have they sorted out the 1000 P6 class.
Are Fizzer 1000 allowed or just big bored 750?
If I pull a plug lead off my 1216 it would be 912cc. In NZ we race race some 600's as 450cc triples in F3. (Just a thought :sick:)

Pete it was great to have you guys over for BSFOS, hopefully you can entice a few more of your Kiwi Racing buddies to do the trip with you next year! It was a pitty the big Suzi let you down but very nice of your Kiwi team mate Graham Lance to let you have a taste of riding a Yammie ( good on ya, Graham )! I'm sure that after a bit more track time that you to would have been right up the front! You carry NZPCRA #1 plate for a good reason, I think it has a lot to do with being up the front of the pack Smithy ????????????

I have been told that there are some arrangements for us to come racing at Taupo on Oct 29th/30th later this year but after doing some research the track is booked for a car meeting on those dates! Can you confirm if there is a meeting at that track for you guys that weekend or if you are racing that weekend at all or somewhere else???

I really like the idea of coming over to race with your club, my wife and myself will holiday after the meet!

Thanks for the kind words and look forward to "catching" up before the end of the year, keeping our fingers crossed! Catching being the operative word!!!!!!

Ride hard and be safe, good luck to you all

Cheers

I got your PM! As I am new to this site I'm unable to PM you at this stage but Thanks for getting back to me! You can direct e mail me on nige085@bigpond.com.

Thanks for looking into our supposed trip for me and I look forward to a reply with any good or indifferent news as it will set the record straight!

We are about to have Rd 2 of our Championship next Saturday which I am looking forward to getting on my bike again!

I'll leave it there for now and have a good weekend

Cheers
