    Ummm
    Classification for entry to “Mini Lite 250” is:
    250cc Multi Cylinder (2 or more), four stroke, production based machines
    I'll take your word for CH22 of MNZ Rule book. Too late to look it up... But I guess it allows for less mods??

    Ironically enough, the guy who set up the Minilite rules actually works in the Kawasaki Shop in Wellington....

    I might as well take this opportunity to announce a Partnership with Northwest Motorcycles here in New Plymouth,
    for me to ride a Hyosung GT250r (carb model) this season.

    I will be at Manfield next weekend riding it (for the first time on track) as a demo against the 4 cylinder 250's, which will be a difficult ask. But we look forward to helping build this Pro lites class in NZ.

    Sponsors will be :
    Northwest Motorcycles
    DP Brakes
    Motorex oils

    See you out there!

    Sounds like a typical streetstock race here in NZ too. Hope you continue to be pro-active at work..................lostinfly!

    Again, Minilites is for MULTI cylinder bikes, ie 2 or more.

    And YES, they do run the class in both VMCC and PMCC rounds.

    Now, Racey Racer is at the National round next weekend, so, unsure what classes they have going.... Most likely all the usual VMCC classes.

    Hey, I'm just helping out on the day. Not much to do with the organising of it prior....

    It'll be good to see a Hyosung out there side by side with some good existing Streetstock bikes.
    Through the 9 races of Streetstock in the SI Nationals the two Kawasakis went really well. Seth Devereux
    (Kawasaki EX250) won two races at Teretonga, one by a tiny margin from Johnny Small. Seth is an
    awesome rider, so is Johnny, but I'd pick the EX as about 98% of an RG in terms of all round
    competitiveness. Where will the Hysosung fit in?
