    Screw the pre 89 class.Vic club has moved with the times and created a Post 90 Carburetted class and a damn fine idea at that.

    I'm gonna support it ...who else will give it a crack???

    I will if it takes off and becomes a mnz class. a zx9 might be my weapon of choice just not to keen on sinking money into something that has very little numbers while pre 89 a still showing good numbers
    Growin' up as a kid, always thinkin', you know If I could ever just race motorcycles and make a living that would be the coolest thing know to mankind.

    Well, Half tempted....
    Thinking I might turn up on the CBR6, tape up the lights and give it a run... See how it goes.

    Somebody might protest my pillion pegs though, as they are off a 99 F4

    Just do it. But don't be surprised if a bog standard RF rides around the outside of you at Splash with the indicators flapping in the breeze.

    I will be very surprised, as isn't the RF an F1 Bike?
    Aren't the Carbie bikes running of the back of the formula classes?
    OR, are they chucked in together, and have races within a race?

    What ever the case, I am semi keen. Bank enough points in the early rounds, and will be a little way up the championship before everybody cottons on.

    I raced the RF with nothing but tape over my lights, and my pillion pegs don't even stay folded up anymore the old girl is so tired, you'll be fine.

    Dunno about back of the grid, pretty sure we'll qualify with the supers (or whatever class), and start from those places. At least I bloody hope so, or gonna be some very worried punters when my aircraft carrier wobbles past them.

    The "long way round pass' at splash wasn't the intention bro, I'll try and get the ol' girl past and lined up earlier next time.

    I still dunno why they didn't just say Pre-2000 and leave out the carb's prerequisite. Seems weird that you can rock up with a 160hp warmed over R1 but can't race a TL1000R or 916 or SP1 that the R1 would blow into the bushes. The carb's part just seems like an unnecessary complication that will rule out some interesting bikes.

    I agree with you spud a pre 2000 class is the way to go, I have suggested this to motorcycling canterbury but nothing has happened as yet. This would be perfect to run my tlr1000 when I get it.

    Probably unlikey to either, if every club made a class just because someone wants a a particular age cutoff we'd have about 50 classes with fuck all bikes and take a week to get through them all

    A better idea would be to buy a bike that fits an exisiting class

    Exactly on bith points.
    The idea was it would be lowish cost..... and somewhere for the older bikes out there to have a go.
    Carbs.. you can still tinker. FI you just end up buying a power commander, and well.... Yup, spend some money.

    You can race a tlr in F1, clubbies or open-twin already. Don't need to wait for a pre-2000 class!
