Wiggles from Mt Eden Motorcycles races one of these quite successfully...watch for him this year starting at PMCC this weekend...he's pretty quick!

That guy would be quick on a C90! Wanna buy my TDM?

From what i have been told they dont make quite the peak hp as an SV but make up for it in the handling/chassis department.
I know there are a few racing but nobody seems to have "realised the potential" yet................ unless the is a rocketship being built as we speak.
probebly not as easy to get performance parts either.
however i am sure ryan F has got his all "sorted" lets face it a rider of his calibre doesn,t ride "a dog' eh

Have a look at the Cagiva Raptor 650.
Not sure if it is homolgated for Pro-Twin though.
Suzuki engine, more HP, better suspension, better exhaust etc.
Might be worth a punt?

Could you make an "Ozzy 450" out of a Daytona 675?

Think your confussing Protwin with F3.


I think the ER6 is more comparable to the Suzuki Gladius both which IMO would not make that good a Protwin bike.

The Raptor is good but someone would have to get MNZ to homolgate it and the Hysung GTR has had recent improvements that could make it a very good proposition. Even if it aint that great put a good rider like Jay on one and I reacon he could be very hard to beat this year.

A Fischer MRX 650 with all the options from the states would be awesome but only a fool would allow them into the class.

Actually, I was thinking outside of the box! I take it the rules state that it has to be a production twin?

Only bikes allowed are those homologated by MNZ. Only exception would be if a club wrote some supplementry rules for their race meeting.

All the rules are online @ http://www.mnz.co.nz/competitionrules.aspx

In order to think outside the square or bend the rules you first have to have an intimate understanding of them.

how about half a hayabusa motor in a gsxr6 chassis..

Yip , a good idea for F3, could be a bit weighty though ?

Could see that getting very messy around the airbox!

Still like the idea of a top of the range 748 duke with 650 barrels. You get oversized everything so cranking up the load will still have a super reliable bike.

Or very latest 250GP bike fitted with custom made 250GP style motor (you are allowed to build your own motor right?)

Lost count of how many times I have read the rules but still don't understand them.
