ER6 will smoke the SV on Top end tracks, and the SV should should smoke ER6 on the other 3 tracks here in the nats. A mate of mine in the USA has been building performace ER6 motors for a while now and really gets tham rocking


Good luck

It may be but i won't be! I won't be challenging for nats this year, hope to TEST it at the tri series but even that will be a massive push.

Cheers matey - yeah bit of an experiment, the old school frame aint ideal but should handle better than the std chassis if we get it right.. IF

how friendly is your mate? a contact on these things would be great!

600's far too easy to ride man!

truth be told racing lees ( and matching his PB on the 2nd ever race) shows me i can ride em - im actually leaving the RNZAF and don't have a job lined up so couldn't quite jump onto a 6 yet.

id actually like a fang on a thou - 600 wasn't as quick as i thought.

And I am yet to ride it :D

Tube frames are where it's at.

Unless of course you have a team of nerds who are fluent in CAD and a full on R & D department to build ally extrusion framed prototypes for you to cane.

Nooope noone has fed him a knuckle sandwich yet, there has been several instances where extreme self control has been exercised.. I would say the vast majority of people that have quit nivens, would have left sighting him as the major reason.

I like mike, he's a nice guy and lets me do jobs as I want to do them pretty much all the time, so we get along well. Mate I couldn't handle being a welder there. 90% of the work is pressure vessels and gantry cranes. YAHOO ! I get some pretty cool stuff to do, different things every day. They let me crank out the homers as well so it's ok for now.

Hell, I used to have to push mine 100 metres from the garage to the race track, just cos it was illegal to ride it on base......
