    The RG500 is mine and it is definitely classed as a PC senior bike - I made an error on my entry form as i had been running in juniors on the 750 Duc previously , this has since been sorted although too late for the program.

    Size does matter, dispite what some woman say. You poor fella.
    As for you stopping racing......sounds a good idea to me, but I'd still need Eddie Kat, Paul Gee, Dave Cole etc... to retire before I could win.

    How many bikes in PC class? (re at Hampton Downs)
    As we are all racing together and the races are 8 - 12 laps (TT) will the speed difference lapping riders be an issue?

    Your own "percived budget" will be very different to someone elses. Another competitor might think your own investment is "excessive" and want the rules changed to suit their own affordability. Or someone that can afford to spend more will look at your own effort as half-arsed and job not done right.
    Its all relevant aye.
    Any rules rules must and are mostly written for the "good of the whole" , thats why they are so dammed hard to write.

    My suggestion (& its not) if you wanted a cost limitation based set of rules is to be submitted , would be to draft to read along the lines of the superstock rules for the era. You would need to have specific rules for all major components of the bike. However a set of rules like that becomes quite difficult when they are trying to encompass so many varied models / designs.

    The only other set of rules that appear effective in controlling investment - is the "buy back" rule.

    Best have a re-think on how best to approach MNZ on that one.


    GW
    agreed - budget reasons doesnt really come into it.

    Example take say... a zxr400 and install a 450 kit - around $1500 all up.
    TTS provide these kits for $960 at current exchange rate,

    Take any standard 400 and upgrade the rear shock to Ohlins and do some work to the front forks.....$1200-$1800? How many 400's have Ohlins shocks and front end suspension work?

    reliability hasnt really been an issue for most people at vic club providing you dont string them out. The only 450 i have seen blow up is neils and that was at nationals and wasnt legal for posties anyway.

    neils zxr450 ran at vic club / Pac club for about 3 seasons and had no issues.

    AJ ran his for about 1.5 seasons at vic club (ran on standard suspension instead of spending money on aftermarket stuff)
    ive run mine for about 1.5 seasons and hasnt died yet (touch wood)

    people will just spend the money in other areas and on sweet unobtainium rare kit parts. Like barrys bike has some primo stuff on it. id love a set of his marvic rims if i could find them, i bet they would be more than a 450 kit.

    i hope 89 posties class continues to grow, its an awesome class.
