Pre Modern 1990 - 1995 era bikes & rules?

**codgyoleracer** · 28th September 2011, 09:53

I see that the Pre Modern rules are available in Australia, do they exist here at all or is there a draft ?. There is talk around that the Vic club is making up some sort of Pre Modern class with similar but different criteria for these bikes for there winter series. Sound sgood in principle, but i assume we would be conisistent with over the ditch ?

Wouldn't an RS250 kill the rest of the F2 field ?

Just thinking of Sketchy dicing with Luke Burkhart on his late model GSXR600.

Actually, same for RS and TZ 125 against NSR250's etc ?

Avalon dices with SV650's.

Then again, those two are both exceptional riders.

I would suggest you ride one first to find out how easy / hard they are to ride well. Average Jo Blo would be pretty well matched or a top rider on 250 / or 600 will also be well matched. I recall Anstey dicing with RS250's back in the day, - but its an endless argument really aye.

Will be intersting to see what if any of the aussie stuff is adopted here, but i would say its pretty likely aye

I can vouch for that. I rode my RS250 with Steffan Merriman when he had his YZF600 in Aust...it ain't as easy as some may think!!

Aww come on guys, I used to carve up a fair few 600s over Piecock hill on my NSR back in the day....how hard can it be....

Yes I'm kidding.

But if anyone has an RS250 for me to test out I am keen as !
