    World wide release. The V3 design was meant to give a wider power delivery from the two stroke. Unfortunately, the cylinder at the rear ran a bit hot, and seized a lot, and holed pistons.

    Sort of looks like a VF500F, as it was a V3 wedged into the VT250FD frame....
    yes the inboard disc,,, well the idea was it was vented.... Hmmm....
    Here you go....
    Mine actually had the plastic that went down the side, and underneath....

    Can't believe it had a 110 rear tyre!!!!

    If ya sit it beside a VT, the two are actually really different. Very little is interchangable.

    My LC has 18 by 1.85 wheels front and rear and 100/90 front(should have 90 but cant get in Sport Demons) 110/80 rear. the pirellis work realy well, heat up good and great in the wet, and go on my road bike when they get down a bit on tread. Has a great "Fun per dollar" Ratio

    BT45 Bridgestone is just as good and you can get the 90 front, thats what I ran on the one I had

    The Brigestone and Pirellis are much the same perfomance wise. I dont know how much difference a 90 would make on the front , Have you tryd a 100 compared to a 90? I would like to try some BT39 or BT399SS if they available in 18 inch

    I didn't ever try a 100, Buddha#81 ran BT39 on his GPZ550 reckoned they were very good, dunno if they'd be quite as good in the wet though

    I can borrow some LC wheels with Avon AM22 front and AM23 rear , nice race tyres , but very expensive. There 110 front and 130 rear but have side walls designed to suit the narrow rims . Thats good about the BT39s on the gpz , i will find out what sizes are available when my demons need replacing. They still got a lot left , I will do a test day at manfeild when i sort my new engine , that will wear them out

    Hows this for a idea?

    2 separate Post classic races

    Post Classic pre 82 and 72

    Late Post Classic (or another name, any ideas welcome) Pre 95 and pre 89

    We want more bikes on the track and more spectators. Taking the family out for the day can be a good day out , even if so said family doesnt know anything about bikes. The main (visual) difference between Pre 89 and pre 82 is huge . A ZXR400 compared to a RD350LC is light years apart. Even Joe bloggs who doesnt know much about bikes can see the full fairings ,USDs and 3 spoke mags and wide slicks ect, compared to the pre82/72 bikes,

    To get this pre95 class going should not bump off the pre82/72 bikes to another class (DANGEROUS CLUBMANS, bad rider on a R1, Good rider on a FZR600 doing the same lap time). What is needed is all the Pre 82 and 72 bikes to get back on he track to allow the New pre95/89 class. There used to be heaps of pre 82 and 72 bikes racing. were are they? Did they all get parked up when pre89 started? Pre 82(junior) can be a cheap class. GS550 , XJ550, GPZ550, LCs ,X7s ,all competive bikes and dont break the bank. Pre 82 senior is a different story as you all know by the AWESOME 1000s racing.

    The other problem is were can this new proposed class fit in on a race day? There is only so much time on the day for all the classes. What class could go if this did work? Clubmans bikes all done on laptimes to race in what ever class suits there speed?

    Ive put this post in "would you race in post post classics?) as well as they seem to be on the same idea. maybe it time for a new thread

    I still say Leave it as it ain't broken.

    I think changing the classes at the moment would detract from what we have.

    I reckon that most people posting in this thread a few times, have wasted at least an hour of their lives to it.

    So I propose this, give me an hour of your time each on my current contract, and for each hour I'll put 40 bucks toward promoting the next round of the vic series. (Next month I mean).

    After that, we'll see what works or does not.
