Back in 2005 or so, Kawasaki bought out a ZX6R 636 to compete in the "600" class to try to improve the mid range of the engine...that was allowed to race in the AMA and other international championships but (correct me if I'm wrong here) never was allowed to race here in NZ. The point is, every championship class around the world "make up" rules based on the local population and requirements...If someone here has put in a request for a rule change because they want to race a 848 and if it doesn't appear (at first glance - yet to be determined here in NZ of course) to have any on track performance advantage, I say bring it on...more diversity on the track the better! As has already been mentioned there is an MV floating about in the background that IS legal with the current rules that is spouted to have 130RWHP off the floor!!!...what if I bought one of them instead and raced it! Boyyyyaaaaa!
(I know I know Drew...I'd still be slow and get my arse kicked)
just to correct you, the 636 didn't race anywhere in the 600 class. Kawasuckme also realesed a ZX6RR at the same time, it was a 600 with race cams etc, it was in limited numbers but still fit the 600 class. Hepburn rode one, and I think Derek McAdam? Beck got one and it had oodles of power compared to my Honda of the time.
