Would you race in post post classics

[Drew]

Tranny's on bikes? Not sure if I wanna see that.

Fuckin liar.

There are lots of very very cheap ex race and potential (as in road legal) race bikes out there that are too old to be competitive in the formula classes but too new for the "newest" post classic class (the now prehistoric pre-89 class). This seems a bloody shame.

If there were a pre-2000 or "7 year old bike and over" or similar class would you potentially be interested in competing in it (obviously depending on the specific capacity and machine restriction rules).

nope.
never!
I can remember some of the 90s... Id love a lightly modded 400 /250 2t class
all you need is a HP limit of around 65 and suspension rules that are similar to pre 89 post classics and you would have a cheep fun class."](20k for a competitive pro twin is not joe motorcyclists idea of cheep)

Don't minimise your font Chris - I have a competitive pro twin that owes me $10K spare rims and wets as well.

Where does $20k come from ?

Jarrod had his on TM for $8.5k

I like chris,s idea we should keep post classic snr and jr but fit in a sub class like a formula 400,this would mean an any year 400cc class if youre bike is an 89 model then you could compete in two championships in one race anything after that would only be able to compete for the 400 title.There is obviously demand for something like this as i was told that at least ten of the bikes in the posties jr were inellegible due to there age i see this as people wanting to compete in a reasonbly even class,what about people on 450swould they be elligible ? No,but if there bike is an 89 they could still go for the 89 championship win. so what would be the benefits of this-
1 more even and competitive raceing(its what every racer wants)
2 a cheap class of raceing,something for the people raceing 150s to move up to at a reasonable cost insead of a 650 or 600.
3 I feel this would be a good solution to the current postie jr problem where everybody benefits after all if you were to remove ten bikes from one class that leaves fuck all competition which leads to boreing raceing to watch.

So what do ya think should we ask the club to look at this as a possible option or just knock it and come up with no real resolution to our current problems,this may not effect some of you but look at it from a bigger perspective would this encourage more people to race when a 400 costs between 3-5grand to buy and you could race it with no real changes and be competitive.
i look forward to any responses.

[scracha]

\i look forward to any responses.

Been suggested. Pointed out it's most popular racing class in OZ. Response was "wah...another class" etc etc etc.

Buy a write off.

muffler $500
power commander $1k (tuned)

Make your own, or I'll make ya one, (with as good flow) for $250. Power commander isn't essential, Wellington motorcycles will "tech-a-tune" it for half the cost.

spare rims $1k

Order them from Victoria Motorcycle dismantlers in Australia, for two thirds that amount.

tyres (set) $750
wets (set) $700
suspension $1500 - 3k
braded lines $250
race fairings $1200

Emulators could possibly be done yourself, to save cost there, and rear shocks are available second hand now.

as opposed to my 400. (wasnt competitive in f3, allright in posties)
bike $2k
tyres (set) $450
wets (set) $600
fairings $850
exaust $1200. included tweaking the carbs.

$5,100 for a post classics bike, that was only alright. Did it need $1500-$3000 suspension aswell to get up to the pace? Cos that puts the bikes at pretty much the same price mate.

Change the record Stevie. Back in the day, there would have been room for more classes, because not all clubs catered all classes. In the current times, you would have a struggling event to not let everyone attend, unless you ran two meetings a month.

Now why has that plan not been hatched , split a seried so the riders in one event can race while the others could assist with running / marshals etc .
Hmmmmmm think people.
