Dual-purpose eligible for "Prolite"?

[budda]

It is a shame that there isnt eligible & competitive 250s from a wide range of makers. That would be awesome both for riders and manufactuers.
On a positive note.......... wouldnt suffer ground clearence probs with sidestand bracket.............. sorry had to add that one

There IS an easily achievable and available Class of bikes that every major Distributor has at least one machine suitable for -
now, if we could just get people interested in Moto450 bikes racing within Superlite ....... Husaberg, Husqvarna, KTM, GasGas, Sherco, BMW, all the Jap brands and others I cant think of at the mo, all with a suitable and eligible bike ......
just one of each would almost double the numbers !!!!!!! AWESOME

[SWERVE]

So if you fitted a cross-brace to the standard bars on a DL650, does that make it an MX bike or a Motard ?

It would be a DL650 with stupid looking cross brace
I reckon some "easy rider" apehangers on on a BMW S1000 would be the go........... and probebly still be a class for it at SOT (dare you Choppa!)
Enough fun for one night..im off to bed.

Im starting to understand how important it is to not restrict modifications to much. proddy racing causes way to many arguments and without mods there is not really parity between brands.

thats where skills come in!

As long as they were welded chain bars with 3' leather tassles, Choppa could get away with his arseless leather chaps !!!!!!!!

Just what we need..........another class within a class..F3/Superlite..... but seriously that would be AN AWESOME class. Both from a manufactures point and those who like to fettle. Be a good intermeadiate level class for youngsters also. Used to love watching the Supermono class in UK (not quite the same but same principle)..... brought on some good talant too.

Absolute rubbish Sloan,You clearly don't understand at all,As an entry level development class,Its vital that the rules in place are adhered to,Its not the proddy classes that cause the problem,Its the idiots that enter into those classes that take themselves far too seriously and think they are above all others and should be allowed to flout the rules in the name of safety,Classic example are the four competitors that turned up at Ruapuna this year knowing their machines were outside the rules and then proceeded to argue the point,They had been told on numerous occassions their machines were illegal well before they travelled from Auckland to Christchurch,Classic case of parity of machinery,Both the Hyosung GT250r and Kawasaki EX 250 are around the 30 hp mark,The Kawasaki is a far superior racebike,Why???,Not because as the liars will tell you because the Kawasaki has more ground clearance cause it hasn't,In fact it has less when you take into consideration the Hyosung has adjustable footpeg brackets the Kawasaki doesn't,No its because the Hyosung weighs close to 20kgs more,The Hyosung has wider wheels enabling it to run Pirelli super corsa's,A far superior tyre than the bridgestones and Dunlops afforded the kawasaki's,Swings and roundabouts really,The fact is Sam and Seth are a cut above the rest in the class and the others are prepared to lie and cheat to try and even it up.

No mate,Sorry,Theres NOTHING wrong with the proddy rules weve got,Just a small percentage of the competitors who think they are special.

Nothing's changed - years ago i was involved in the last - round, post race teardown of the whole 250 prod class. The front runners were all without exception dead stock, legal. From about 5th back we found everything you can imagine....it's the guys at the back of the field who cheat to try to get to the middle of the bunch to at least look competitive.
The problem resulting from what we found was that one distributor in particular was involved at appeal level and testified that the mods we found would make no difference hence the competitor in question was reinstated. If your distributors won't stand behind the organisers to keep bikes standard you're on a losing wicket....

Have you got a personal grievance with me? I was simply thinking out loud and asking for opinions and interpretations on the rules. What's the problem?

The problem was that you tried toi think for yourself. You should know that, that is not allowed in UnZud!
