15 production bikes + 3 emergency spares

[Shaun]

Bikes are Totally standard, apart from, muffler, and fairings.

Bikes will be transported and main tained by me.

All bikes will be the same.

NO TYRE KICKERS IN THIS THREAD PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, I cannot read every post of some dribble.

Lease or purchase from me?

Purchase is $12-000 BRAND NEW, with all NEW road gear!

Lease for winter series is, $5800, with Petrol and 1 front tyre, and 1 rear tyre.

You would be signing a contract to the effect of, " You bend it, you pay ME to repair it @ $30-00 per hour for these bikes only, plus parts.

You will be paying to have your own colour sceme painted on the bike, as well as suppling your own sponsors stickers for the bike.

The bikes are 2008 600.s

We are getting very close now, please only comment in this thread if you are seriously interested!

[Sketchy_Racer]

And only ONE person has stepped up so far:gob:

[Racey Rider]

I would have to find Sponsorship before even suggesting I could be involed, and having never ridden a 600 on the track, would probably just be making up the numbers if need be while I learn.

1. Is there a cutoff date to get money together and get into this opportunity?

2. No 'Wet' tires?

3. Do we supply our own tire warmers? or none allowed?

4. Is this class run within same class as Vic Clubs F2 600's?

5. Would bikes be available for use at test days before race day? If we paid extra? (guess that would wear out our tires to much anyway)

SUZUKI

[tri boy]

Good luck Mr.
Almost had the boss hooked into sponsoring his son on the "other" possible brand.
Little bird told me the deal didn't quite see fruition. True?

[Aragorn]

Interested in this oppourtunity, will you have the bikes avaliable for lease in next years nationals, or will you be required to do the winter series before that?

Nationals programme is being discusssed at the moment still. It may? take one season of club racing to prove the healthy ness of this series, but I am trying for the Nationals for the season after this one!

Hi Shaun,
I am seriously interested in one of these bikes.

A couple of questions:

By winter series you mean next years VMCC ?

I don't care much about the colour so could I get one without painting
it or are the fairings bare plastic ?

Would there be an opportunity to hire one for a track day / practice
before commiting to the season I don't want to waste your time or my money if I was not suited to the
bike (the nice way of saying I was useless).

If I purchased one, you would still transport and maintain it for the
season and I get to keep it at the end of the season ?

Would there be an option to get some coaching ?

haha, just replied to your email, read away mate, you can copy and post on here if you wish to.

[wharfy]

I e-mailed Shaun ( 'cause I am a bit shy about posting on KB ) but then posted anyway ('cause I am a bit impatient and thought he may not read his work -email on the weekend). Shauns answers in bold italics

A couple of questions:

1) YES MATE

I don't care much about the colour so could I get one without painting
it or are the fairings bare plastic ?

2) Painting will be required

Would there be an opportunity to hire one for a track day / practice
before committing to the season (in case I can't ride the thing !!) I
don't want to waste your time or my money if I was not suited to the
bike.

3) NO, bikes will be all be leased prior to the track day scene

If I purchased one, you would still transport and maintain it for the
season and I get to keep it at the end of the season ?

4) Definitely

Would there be an option to get some tuition ?

5) For sure, it will cost per hour though as it is my work.


Cheers

[CHOPPA]

So is that 1 set of tyres per round??

Do you have to run supplied brand?

What would be the cost if the bike was purhased and you were to do the rest ie transport etc etc?

Bloody good idea I hope it works out!

Might be able to get some more moto buddys out there!

[Hellraiser]

What about suspension mod's for those of us that are bigger boned?

[Shaun]

[t3mp0r4ry nzr]

[Hellraiser]

That's a counter productive answer ....... i read the post and acording to your first post there would be no alterations allowed to the suspension, as you say mufflers and fairings only.

So if that is the case anybody over 80kg need not apply

If that is how you feal, move along then!

[Aragorn]

Very interested, when does the winter series start over there? Im moving back early next year.

That's a poor excuse. I've seen some big dudes who have an ADVANTAGE on 600's because they can throw the bike around like a toy. Nick Cole for one.

Neil Chappell was competitive (top 3 at worst) in Streetstocks with about 30hp at the wheel, and he was 20kg heavier than most other riders.

I'm 72kg, and I feel like a featherweight on a 600.

I'm weighing it up Shaun. Have quit my job in Australia and am returning to NZ in a couple of weeks, might be keen dependent on whether I can get another job, and sponsorship. Sorry I can't jump in just yet.

[HDTboy]

Learn how to ride fast depite your weight

OR

Lose the weight

OR

Ride anyway and have fun racing with other people the same pace as you

[sidecar bob]

So you dont remember Jared Gillard then?

[svr]

So you dont remember Jared Gillard then?

Thats right - Jared must have been well over 100kg when he won the 600 production nzrrc...
The advantage that small riders have isn't that great.
