I didnt say it should have to be an inline, just why don't they build a competitive 600?
The problem with it is that at the start, you have to design a class that has limits, so you dont have an S1000rr against a grid of VT250's, The idea is to set a boundary, and the best man within that boundary, wins.
As soon as you start to allow bikes that dont fit the rules, you ask where does it stop? it was a 600cc limit for the class, now theres an allowance for a twin up to 750, and fuckit, triumph made a weird ass bike, so we will make an allowance especially for a single bike on top of that.
It doesnt matter to me whether the class is limited by CC rating, or number of cylinders, or peak stock HP, or stock power to weight, what matters to me is that the rules are set, and you race to them. every single time you alter the rules for one person or one bike, you give everyone else the impression that they are entitled to have the rules extended for them too, the question is, if you keep altering the rules, and having different subsections of the rules for certain bikes, at what point does it end?
There are many many race classes out there already (whether national or not) you got street stock, prolight, pro twin, F1, F2, F3, bears classes and so on and so forth. So, maybe not every bike ever built fits into a class, but if you want to race, there are many, many classes, pick a class, and pick a bike that fits into the rules, end of story.
And yes, I think the triumph should be excluded, why? because allowing it sends a message that if a unique bike comes along, then we will bend the rules to accommodate it.
I wonder the same thing
The argument about it not being a nationals class, etc etc can be easily sorted by saying, well MAKE ONE then.
If there are all these unique bikes, why not make a new class to suit them?
As for whether I want as many bikes on the grid as possible, well yeah, I do, but you dont always get what you want.
You either want to race in a national class, and will race to those rules, or you dont - I dont see any point in constantly changing the rules every time some cunt says 'but i bought this bike and i want to play'.
lol don't forget to actually go race a bike tho fellas.. KB post counts do not count toward nationals
Duuuuude, you got it ass backwards: MNZ are saying lets alter the capacity limits and maybe we'll see more/different bikes on the grid, and therefore put on a better show.....it's not a case of any 848 rider/racer asking for the rules to be changed.
Haha, and you're just gonna luuuuurve the new 130hp MV 675 ain'tcha?
Life is change brutha!
One more thing, the 848 qualifies for a class now. It's called superbike. Someone riding said bike in it isn't likely to win, but some folk round here seem to think that isn't what it's all about. I disagree.
oh shit.. i read every post...
what a ride so far!!!!
So what, everyone who hasn't a hope in hell of winning should sell up and join the bowls club instead? Is that what you'll tell your kids, "if you can't win don't bother"? As far as financial advice regarding bike racing goes it's pretty good, but as far as a way to live life? Nah, so much.
Ooooooh, I've just twigged to what you're getting at: fuck off the Jap 600's and run middleweight BEAR's as a National class instead? Now you're making sense! My apologies, the penny shoulda dropped sooner. You're totally correct, if the Japs can't make a competitive middleweight bike they should bugger off until they can eh?
Not what I'm saying. I mean that if you don't even want to win, why race?
Now you're getting it. If any manufacturer doesn't make a bike capable of winning a class run around the world, then fuck anyone who buys it with the intension of racing and doing well.
so in superbike they are alowing the twins to go an extra 200cc above 1000 in line four.
how does that equate to 250cc extra in the 600 class?
does this mean for the same reason getting more bikes in the grid they will also let a gsxr750 in the class as this is also 130 hp???
Isnt there a v twins class?
