Looks good aye will make Superbike cool again, bit of an about face with cams, any tyres, quickshifters, data aquisition, link arm rods, valve pocket machining etc, hmmm no mention of traction control

[gixerracer]

Pretty much the same rules as now except for the gay wheel rule, and the electronics

Maybe depends if you abide by them.. but the other proposed rules were alot different eg more stock based and treaded tyres

I like the looks of the 600 stock class...only hope the standard rear suspension won't chew the tires out too much! Over all it looks like good, well thought out changes being made.

I'll be interested to see how the 600 stock rules pan out, but not experienced enough to pass comment.

At a quick look a Superbike built to the limit of the rules just got a large amount dearer!!

Wheels 3x rear 2x front $5000-10,000
Adjustable tripple clamps $2000-5000
Brake Master Cylinder $500 (dont ask what a motogp one costs!!)
Dash $500-$5000
Data Aquaisiton $2000-20,000
Ecu $2000-WSB Marelli marvell system is $100000 US$
Motec at least $10,000
Aux Radiator $500-???.

I just wonder if there is a surreptitious movement to price S/bike out of the market and replace it with s/stock when there are only 3 bikes entered??

Think its more in line with getting Aussie teams ova?

600's are covered in 3.6 (n) Front and rear suspension springs and internal components, but external appearance
must remain unchanged, Full cartridge kits may not be used.
So 1000's can use a shock 600's revalving only.

I cant see any reason why a distributor supported Australian Team would come to NZ to race as their sole reason for racing is to promote their products to potential customers who are not in NZ as a lot of the distributors are diffrent companys.

loving the supersport rules. from someone who loves to tinker wth engine this give you way more scope, and align with aussie prety well also. wih the current rule set the issue of compression by way of gasket only is a real pain (i am speaking from a honda point of view) allowing mating surface machinng leaves you with way more room! (0.52mm of squish is way to close!)
i will endevor to get over there if these come in as i am sure alot will.

[CHOPPA]

That must be a rule for Andrew so he can run the BST wheels??
