I'm pretty sure the general consensus is to the contrary. I've argued exactly what you are saying, and few if any saw it the same...Cunt.

Well they must be all thick cunts like you, what part of the rule is hard to understand?

general consensus doesn't mean shit,the rules as they are written do

25.1
Introduction:
There shall be three groups of Post Class road racing machines:
(A)
Pre 72 which shall consist of machines manufactured after January 1st
1963 and before October 30th 1972.
(B)
Pre 82 which will consist of racing machines manufactured after the
closing date of the Period 1972 class and before December 31st 1982.
(C)
Pre 89 which will consist of racing machines manufactured after the
closing date of the period 1982 class and before December 31st 1989

No mention of "sold" "released" or "available"

Sweet. Looks like I get to build Stevie a race bike with a decent frame and brakes!

It wont help you anyway mate - you would have forgotten how to ride by then...

Hey, if someone can demonstrate their local bike shop had a ZZR600 for sale in 1989 then I'll rush out and buy one as with 98 pones (before tuning) they'd piss over everything else in Pre-89 junior. Until then, they're not eligible (IMHO).

You're correct though...the posties assoc need to tighten up and clarify their rules.

From an Aussie article;
Such is Kawasaki's long-standing ZZ-R600 - once the benchmark to which others aspired.
Much has changed in the marketplace since the ZZ-R's worldwide release back in 1989.

See earlier post. Same article then goes on about it's 1990 release.

Yawn...and I could quote 100 articles stating it came out in 1990.

Doesn't matter anyway, email back from posties guys stating that ZZR600 is not eligible and that they're going to take some of the ambiguity out of the rules. I won't be doing a CBR engined ZXR400 based on their advice either.

[sugilite:Me]

OK, so we contact Kawasaki and find out when the first ZZR600 was sold. Presales would have been as early as August '89 I imagine. And then he sells the horrible CBR sitting at my place and we build something good.

Mostly people whine because they have something they want to use, that very nearly fits the rules I think.

If the 1990 GSXR1100 was available before December 1989 (and I don't think it was), lots of people who are all about Suzuki would be able to get a lot closer to the lap times of an FZR1000, then currently.

I bought the 1st K to come in the country and was riding it around in October 88. Suzuki had a habit of selling next years model round oct/nov in those days. I'm confidant you would find they were selling L's by nov 89.

Doesn't work like that, it's up to the competitior to provide the proof of legality and then if the NZPCRA dont like it they'll get a rule done to specifically exclude it anyway like they did with the RZ350 in pre82


Pretty sure the RZ wasn't released until 83, the first time the 250 was raced in NZ was July 83 at the Vic winter series by Bryan Forbes & Eddie Kattenberg (Mike Pero may have also been on one) where they trounced the much more expensive & on paper more competitive RG250 which were also making their debut. Can't remember the 350 being available earlier but have been mistaken before.

Maybe at that stage the head hadn't been "dropped"on the workshop floor and had to be re machined

I don't think the FZR changed from '89 to '90 though did it?
