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.

my bike will kill a SRAD 750 with any rider but me on it

I reckon this class would be cool for all the people with older R1's etc. The first R1 was a weapon being 100000000000cc's but a gsxr750 - fireblade - ZX9 was competitive in the right hands on New Zealand's short tracks.
Cue Robert Taylor with........... "The GSXR750 was only competitive against a larger capacity bike after adding full Ohlins fork inserts, Ohlins shock, Ohlins steering dampener, Ohlins valving (inlet and exhaust), Ohlins tyres, Ohlins wheels, Ohlins throttle grip, Ohlins lap timer, Ohlins fairings, Ohlins header pipes, Ohlins muffler - and a rider with the last name OHLINS.

Glen

I would have thought "new era" bikes would be electric and good on Australia for having racing for these machines...

Plenty of time to prepare bike for Vic Club Winter Series 2020!

You dont have to have the best bike just to win a club day and if your goal is to ride this class for some glory and you think you need the best bike possible to do it then your just a trophy hunter. Just get whatever you have in the shed and ride it as fast as you can.

I wouldnt care what bike I had, id race it as fast as I can and in F1. I wouldnt need some watered down class for me to bring it out just so I can get a certificate. Look at GW when he was racing the old FZR1000 in F1 and waxing 99% of the new bikes, that made people look!

It was only 2 years ago, and the front running FZR had a whole season of battles with a ZXR400 at every round on Manfeild....

So, really, it does come down to Rider.... not size of machinery...

I do get what you are saying, but i think availability, and money will have more to do with it when it comes to Carbie Class.

Finally! A class my TRX might actually be competitive in... that is if they let it in... FCR41's, full system, high comp pistons and a race cam will probably be outside of the rules

Why would it not be competitive in F1?

Well then, have a look on www.vicclub.co.nz and make a submission if you want/need to.
Don't just sit here and then moan if the rules are not to your liking. The class rules are open for comment.

I for one would like to see GP bikes in it, but that isn't going to happen I am sure, but I FOR SURE want to see a TRX out there. That would be the ducks nuts!!!

so we can forget about using the Ohlins air in the tires now?
