M1 Motorsport BMW S1000RR Début

Well done that man was great to see a new brand out there (3 actually) with apirllia and ktm making up the top 3 WTF up with that no japas?
Under the current rules there will be no way that bike would be allowed to race but the easiest and I think most sensible thing to do would be to allow all the NZ superbikes to have a quick shifter and allow traction control as all the bikes have the option of hooking these up via the ECU and race loom, will be interesting to see wot MNZ do

There is enough bikes sold but it is an issue over the TC and quickshifter.

The bike should be homologated as it is though, the TC model is the only model that has so far been sold in NZ and that is the model that will be making 90% of the sales so it should instantly be eligible.

The ducati 1198 S is homologated and that has traction control and full ohlins.

The rsv R is homologated and that has full ohlins

Well done yesterday chop chop was good to see 3 new brands up front with BM apirllia and ktm making up the top 3 WTF no japas?
Under the current rules no way can that bike race in the nats so will be interesting to see what MNZ do, the best thing will be to allow us all to run a quick shifter and traction control as we all have the means of doing so with the race ECU and wiring looms allowing such things to be plugged straight in.

Actually that is probably the best idea i have heard Craig. I think all the bikes with the yoshi, yec, hrc etc etc ecus have the capability to run quick shifters and tc. Id rather have the advantage but fairs fair i suppose lol

[R6_kid:Me]

any photo's of you and the bike in action?

There was a journo 'testing' one at Hampton Downs yesterday... that thing looks hot no matter what direction you look at it from.

MNZ would have to be crazy to stop you running the bike in the NZSBK's, it would be {hopefully will be] great to a see a euro bike up there in the nats, the more manufacturers the better.

Indeed, I think there is a danger of trying to make our premier class too regulated for the noble but often poorly researched cause of trying to keep it as affordable as possible. There are in fact people out there who will back our top up and coming riders ( such as Sloan ). If we can have a greater diversity of machinery it makes it more interesting and builds a bigger fan base. For myself Ive always been pretty indifferent to Bavarian motorcycles but its great to see them included

[Clivoris]

Great performance Choppa. I agree with Craig as well. MC racing in NZ has to move with the times.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Well done. Nice to see another brand getting stuck in! Hope MNZ see the light.

[kiwifruit]

Congratulations sir!

Just sorting photo's now ... Looking pretty hot out there I have to say

And another for a Vote of MNZ moving with the times.

Well Done Choppa, on the awesome display you put on. Will be great to see it mixing it with the other regulars in the future....

Has anyone approached MNZ to get those rules amended?

[R6_kid:Me]

Has anyone approached MNZ to get those rules amended?

Probably better if support is shown for it by people actually speaking up. If Choppa and M1 Motorsport are the only ones chasing them then it might fall on deaf ears.

Congrats Choppa, brilliant riding, sweet bike!

There's a rule that says traction contol can be used if it's OEM.

12a The fitment of a Traction Control unit is not permitted unless fitted as standard OEM for
the homologated model

But then quick shifter...

12 PROHIBITED.
The use of complete on board engine management ignition injection systems, data
acquisition computers, recording equipment are banned, (ie Motec type systems).
Note Official onboard lap timing devises and TV camera are permitted.
The use of gearbox quick shift systems including additional handlebar mounted kill
switches (fitted for this purpose) are prohibited
