Are the boys at BSB with their "stock" superbikes onto something?

[codgyoleracer]

I have always supported the idea of only running Supertock 600 and Superstock 1000 classes and have voiced that many times before so this idea gets my vote.

A couple of points that I don't think have been raised yet though...

• It's worth mentioning that a race bike can sometimes be put back on the road and sold as a newish model road bike to help pay for the latest model for next season.
• I think this has been mentioned but it becomes more important to check that bikes are within the regulations when the rules about mods are tighter so this would have to be considered.

Also, there is very little prestige in the the stock classes at the moment because they just get lost amongst the faster bikes. After my first super stock 600 race, even I didn't know if I had won the race or not let alone any of the spectators.

+ 1 on the facts re the replacement of bike costs, and of course model series of machines tend to run now for 3 years - so it is quite common to transfer things like fairings, levers, bars, pegs, electronics, exhausts and even suspension on occasions from one model to another.

Re the technical rules comment, Billy appears to be onto it - and for sure, anything akin to a "stockish" class requires strict checks.

You were not generalizing you were being a wanker and you know it.

I do so much for the sport, way more than you bla bla bla I have heard it all before. Not sure what that has to do with it. Everybody does there bit, some more some less.

Oi, stop hijacking the thread chop , & get back to talking up your slow as shit stock bike.........

If I have to burn bridges to stand up for myself so be it. Just because you like to bend over and take it in the ass it doesnt mean we all have to

Sorry Glen, try to stay on topic but it seems I cant make a comment without it being an ego trip that someone has to try and beat me down for...

Sorry fact is that it was a generalisation, I can see on re-reading what I wrote how you may have thought it was directed at you personally, this was not the intention. Believe it or not its not all about you....

A Thread which makes soooo much sense........... sure someone will spoil it soon enough
Gets my vote.

See i was correct.... turns into a slanging match/shitfight........ KB never fails to deliver

Exactly and thats why we will PROBABLY never have a forum on the MNZ website.

Doesn't need to be that way. KB threads turn into shit fights because those of us that run the place reckon everyone has a right to say whatever they like.

For a site like MNZ everything would need to be Moderated, but the Moderators would have to be independent, ie not part of MNZ staff or hold a race licence etc.

Also Glen , how many season's have you and Terry run those SV's , why would you want a class where you would have to purchase the lastest and greatest every year just to stay half competive we had that in good times , but not in the new world . I'm all for cost cutting or re-alignment in some form and in the long run it doesn't effect me anyway as I long past my use by date for racing. But then the experts on here all know better . It wouldn't be KB would it

I'm no expert and things are probably different in the high performance world of 600's and 1000's, but I don't believe that a 2012 SV650 is any better performance wise than a 2003 model.

Having chased Sarah on an old 99 model, there was sweet f.a. between our bikes in staright line speed in any case.

I've heard from one experienced SV racer that the 06 is the best to have, others have told me the 03 is the best......
