Bimota YB8 Postie project sees the light of day

[codgyoleracer]

trick meanin bimota fzr1000?? also if you wanna be a right c**t about it have you got a frame number that matches the 89 manufacturing time line as only a few were made at the end of 89... yet no one has rasied that question.. maybe alot like the bimota.
just stiring the pot a little bit more no wonder i have no mates haha.

Yip, bit like the 1990 - 94 models of the various 88-89 designed/manufatured bikes out there, essentially if the same bike series is unchanged - then date of manufacture is irrelevant aye.

Now - as for the real question , How come 450cc bikes are not allowed in the new "F3" posties class

[worm13]

careful you will end up like me with no mates... and no painter hahaha... my picking is look back at the period of 89 f3 and do you see 450 f3 bikes there.... boom got ya there now go back and fit your illegal fairings to your illegal bike

HaHa , Hmmm, I can see the 450 boys being really really happy about racing against kitted 600's........, Just on the basis of easily checking such things its best to keep those types of mods open ?

Now can you lend me your big hammer to fit those 1650cc kit pistons in my Bimota....

So your only fitting the small bore kit then?
My 2 litre oval piston kit should be here soon

I dont have a period hammer sorry.. speaking of which not sure if the glass and resin is period based could be another way to protest it hahaha and ts proven the paint is from a 2004 bike i think your doomed buddy... best to pack your project up and give me my evenings holding down the couch back

So does that mean the 400s are allowed to run methanol/nitro methane mix as many did back in the days your talking about???Also care to explain the 250 production based 2 strokes too me,They werent eligible until the mid 90s,Also I can think of 2 bikes that won F3 championships back under the old rules that were 450s so are those 2 bikes still eligible seeing as they were never caught cheating???Cause I know where they both are and could drive there and buy them in under 20 minutes,Also care to explain too me the RGV250M thats been running in pre 89 right under your nose for the Actrix series this year???

No the smaller kit size goes better with the cosworth developed 7 valve heads, but i thought you knew that ?

Watch out for those oval things , some people might start calling you an egg :-) . I note an OWO1 is turning up for Tri-Series ! NICE

Now that you mention, you do have a remarkable resemblance to a potato's shape.......... ;-), as you were the purchaser of said paint, i think all rectifcation work should be started immeadiaty (all at your own cost of course...........), cancel the fishing trip and light both ends of that candle!

sorry billy wasnt meaning to upset people more just winding glen up, at this point of time i currently have something in front of the nzpcra for a mod with my bike and its been a bit of a laugh away from kiwibiker, if its mark ellen you are talking about with the rgv250m at round 2 he was told that the bike wasnt a true 89 posties bike as i was the one that brought it up he was fine about that and he was happy to have points pulled which happened due to me making a mess of my self with a crash at round 2 i wasnt really around the track so i cant answer if he carried on or not, also if it there was someone alse out there with a rgv250m or other non pre 89 bike out there why didnt anyone bring this point up? as everyone knows anyone can make a protest, my understanding for the f3 part of the rules are to bring it along side the rules as per what aus currently run and to make the rules based on what the rules were in 89 hence the non 450 part. also im not a tech rep or even a memeber of nzpcra but would like to see the line drawn in the sand some where but the question is where.
wow nuplex would be stoked that their resin can still glue shit together 23 years on.
anyways man as i said im not here to upset anyone or get on the wrong side of anyone i just would to see a standard set and leave it at that.
Cheers

Well i am royally screwed then !, as the bimota wasnt homolagated in 1989 in NZ, so it must be banned ! ?

Local rules "at the time" have no bearing , as class is based on "worldwide availability", which is why sugalites swingarm is absolutly fine IMO, he just needs to find the date of manufacture of the part, cos if it was on an early 1990 model in the marketplace then there would be a 99% chance that kawasaki would have designed it , & tested it way before that aye

Fit it up sugalite, I will stand beside you in the dock & defend ya ! :-)

Nah, its all good stuff mate, open talk and transparency is what the class needs. I think many are over the ducks n drakes brigade & look forward to the consistency & balanced view of MNZ in any serious matters and the rules for all classes.
That doesnt change a specialist club from having there own set of rules, though - however i would suspect that for the longer term if we all to work of a nationaly based set of rules it will build the class nationwide at a greater speed and will allow many more punters to get involved in what is a really fun class of nostalgia racing.

your bang on the money there, i would like to see a standard and that standard kept from both riders and governing bodies.. as you know glen im over its ok for one and not for the other hence why I brought up the fzr1000 as you know I dont have a issue with the bimota and as you can tell im very enthusastic about it, the complaining seems to come if people are worried they are gonna be thrashed or if noone alse has one, however when these bikes were made and raced i was 4 so my knowledge on them a limited and most likely im wrong however when a president has been made it should be kept not mid way thru a season etc etc
