Post 90 Carb Bikes at VMCC.

Hi folks,
Have you seen the new proposed class?

Check out the Oily Rag.

I think I know where the perfect candidate for an F2 bike is.....

SRAD GSXR600 or early R6 would toast the CBR, although they also cost more.

Hopefully I can afford to buy a 98 R1 before this class drives the price of them back up.

Could do.... But, yes it would cost more..... and one still has to ride it well
An R1 for F1 class would be the ticket...

Has there been any discussion with the post classic assn over this class or are vic doing their own thing?

My understanding is it's a Vic Club sub class within their F1/F2 fields. Skunk may or may not be along soon to confirm.

There are rules for "new era" bikes in Australia already (basically a pre95 class), so maybe thats a reference point, and may well be supported by NZPCRA i suspect (but dont know for sure !)

ZX9R and the last 900 'blade were only 4 or 6 hp behind the carbed R1's, once you start fettling it is going to come down to the rider and setup more than the bike surely?

l know that but people only go for the best and will just end up been a r1 class

Shame my 750 got stolen. That would've been fun to ride in that class, although it'd get reamed by 900 blades.

Here's the thing, there's got to be a line in the sand and I think "Carbs only" is quite a good one.

Let's say you cap it at "Pre 96". SRAD 750 is the bike to have and everyone without one crys.

So you change it to Pre 95. Then if you don't have a 'Blade, you're nowhere. So everyone without Blades has a cry.

The organisers can't win.

"Carbs" is easy. If it's got carbs, you race it. Mint.

I fully doubt that. Budget, and availability of suitable machinery will play it's part in a class like this and I reckon thats the whole point.

I haven't seen any rules or restrictions yet, and yes a factory R1 is probably a couple of tenths quicker over a 1/4 but with so many variables that two tenths means fuck all if the guy with 98cc less is a better rider than you and has tuned his machine more accurately for any set of given conditions.
