848 Evo in NZ Supersport?

[Tony.OK]

"Proposed" rule change taken from MNZ website................Hmmm, that'd be nice to see (and hear), 130rwhp with a tune and exhaust

Rule Number: Appendix G

New Rule to read:

Supersport engine capacity:
501cc-600cc 4 cylinders maximum
601cc-675cc 3 cylinders maximum (including 850 V Twins)

Reason for change: To allow the use of 850 Vtwins in this class, i.e. the 848cc Ducati evo.

I bet it's codgeoldracers idea because he is to chicken to ride a superbike

I was just thinking that would make my TRX850 eligible, but it won't be if it has high comp first size over pistons and FCR carbs would it?

Would it not be better for them to wait and see if Ducati come through with a Panigale "799".

They did this in Canada a while ago and it turned into a Ducati win while everyone else just races each other scenario. But could be a good one.

So Ducati twins are now to get a 42% increase in displacement over the IL4's... that seems just a smidgen fucking ridiculous.

Yeah, but they are about 42% more expensive to buy and repair, so I doubt you'll see a shitload on the grid!

Hard to say really, closer to 30% to buy but hp is better and don't need engine work to have similar hp to a worked 6hundy.
Look at the BMW's that are in SBK/F1 now, much bigger price gap new but they're still there.

Parts aren't that bad nowadays, and a fair amount of chassis/body is the same as 1098/1198's so bits can be found relatively easy.

Be really interesting to see a top rider do a back to back comparison

It aint a v-twin mate. Their new rule is obviously designed for one specific spaghetti bike

SV744 would be more of a laugh

I did some quick sums on taking 100cc out of a 749 but it would have, can probably be done but doubt it'd be worth the $$$.

This is good for the class. Someone in the rules knows the deal. I have done a lot of track Km on an older 848. I know its going to be right in the middle of the class. Only a pro rider can ring that horsepower out of a 2 cyclinder effectively to win and the 600 s are odds on favourites for high speed tracks. The maintainence costs are bugger all, probabaly less than the rest. Forget the fact the girls will shag the 848 riders, thats life.

America is the big market for these bikes and they know how to crash them. The 848 is probably the most crashed Ducati in the USA. They are a cosmetic culture, so it does not take much to right one off. You can import a right off through Bidrider or Kiwi Shipping and be competitive with a strong low km bike for less than $10,000. You claim the GST because your effectively importing to trade the vehicle but have not sold it yet.

Good post! Hey I have seen that Bidrider..... Have you used them? So basically you buy something off Ebay and they pick it up and deliver it??

Yep, I used 'em for a car and a set of race fairings for my bike, couldn't be happier.
