    Bears' compliance?

    Hello knowledgable ones.

    Is the Aprillia RS250 Bears Racing Compliant? A fulla was telling me the other day that he thought they are not as they have a RGV250 based motor.

    If this is so. I guess it would count of some of the SV running Cagivas etc?

    I think they'll say not: I asked about an MuZ Skorpion a few years ago but because it had a Jap motor (XT/SRX660) they said no. I think you're correct too about the Aprilia RS250: but maybe some models do comply?

    Definitely ask them if you intend to race it there

    They wont allow them down here due to being RGV based motors, no matter what brand it has on the tank if it's a jap motor it is not eligible

    I understand this far only BRITISH EUROPEAN AMERICAN RACING S?

    How did the BRITTEN race in BEARS? How did I get to race the TWISTER in BEARS, Triumph motor, but all chassis built in NZ! NZ Chassis do NOT fit into the BEARS also then as I see it at the moment mmmmm

    1.Motorcycles must be of British, European, or American design with an engine and chassis of non Asian design or manufacture.

    pretty simple really

    Roger that, you would have to have your head well in the sand to think that ANY motorcycle made today has its parts completly manufactured in-house and in one country.

    True ! - although the Ducati powered ones would qualify ?.
    I think you might find that there are different levels of tolerance depending on where you want to race.?

    ...i was chatting to a mate who was one of the most vociferous of anti-jappies BEARS men you could wish/or not to meet...a founding member etc...his comments on the euro bikes that run jappy based motors was quite a reversal of his old rhetoric...comments like,'times are changin'...'my kids race jappies'...'the Ducati fest' its become'....

    ...SOT is still one of the great meetings in the country...even for me..a confirmed slant-aphile...
