Best to ask MNZ mate - you'll just stir up a shit fight in here.

Correct on both counts Deano

Correct

Ok, i'll ask MNZ. Who should I contact, Billy?

[Punchy]

Seriously Allan, how dare you have an original idea to try and up the fun factor, and probably get more entries to meetings. How fucking dare you?!

Do as you are told and enter motard, get raped by 450s, and don't bother ever again.

And replied to!!

[Deano]

So what is the upshot ?

[Mental Trousers]

.... Allan's following in the footstep of many that have gone before him and told no.

That's my guess.

[kiwifruit]

Got a positive and prompt reply from the roadrace commissioner. I'll paste that here if that's ok with him?

[tigertim20]

hopefully it means you can enter it. i dont see why it shouldnt be allowed to enter if it was offered as a road ready bike.
Of course there will also be people who dont want anything that might have a chance of beating them made eligible - but thats racing I suppose, if you cant win, whine and bitch till the other guy gets banned . . .

It's not a MX bike, it's a dual purpose bike.

I don't think it would be competitive at the pointy end. It may have a performance edge down low but it would lack top end. Tyre selection is limited to dual purpose tyres... nothing sticky, so corner speed would be down on others in class.

Are you blind or just plain stupid

[Mental Trousers]

Usually it's something to do with the handlebars I think. Clip on's are road bikes, flat bars across the top are tards.

This class of motorcycle requires an MNZ Homologation, with a minimum of 50 units sold of that mass produced motorcycle.
This homologated motorcycle must be a street type, road registerable and Wof mass production machine, available and sold new in New Zealand.

This class to be called “PROLITE”.


Does anyone know how "motorcycle must be a street type" is interpreted? Does it mean the bike was sold new with lights and plate or is it more strict than that?

I'm just thinking out loud really. The particular bike in question is a 2005 WR250.

Got this of Yamaha UK Website

Championship-quality engineering.With a string of World Championships to its credit, the WR250F is one of today's most respected enduro bikes. Whether you're an amateur or pro, serious racer or club rider, this machine will let you discover your true off-road potential.

The winning combination of a free-revving, 4-stroke, DOHC, 5-valve engine and a compact and lightweight aluminium chassis ensures that the WR250F can compete and win on virtually any type of terrain.

Specially developed enduro transmission and suspension give you ultimate control and handling - in the forest its famous agility is second to none, while on the quick sections this gutsy 250 runs hard and fast
