    We had two come to twilight training and three join the 45 bike strong SS150 class at KOR rd3 on Saturday, my gwad they are painfully slow so slow one got lapped in a 5 lap race. I trained one of them for a short period on Friday night. I'm fat...... really fat and on a relatively stock FXR I was sitting up and short shifting so top speed would be lucky to be 120kph. Big numbers and close racing might make up for the painfully slow speeds but I cant see it, I hope for Suzuki I'm wrong.


    Its harder to lose weight than gain horsepower.

    Bugger - if they're that slow, the cheating's gonna have to be subtle....

    For owners or Suzuki ?

    Doesn't surprise me. I once rebuilt a 1500 Ford engine, wondered what the cam in it was - stamped Kelford.
    Went in with it and asked - got the third degree "where'd you get this ?"
    Turned out to be one of the non existent Formula Ford cheater cams...

    Edit - if you want an OE Suzuki cam, a DR200 will probably drop in.

    Why can't people just accept that it's a one make, level playing field budget class & leave it at that for Christs sake.
    It puts me right off supporting a rider on one of these.
    I'm not going to buy a bike & play by the rules while the others all take the piss.
    The engines should have bean lead sealed by Suzuki, but the horse has bolted now.
    Incidentally, I spent the day at Taupo circuit today & observed Jessie Stroud riding one of these bikes very nicely.
    However, later in the day he jumped on a RG150 & Andrew got on the little GSX & got his arse soundly spanked by his diminutive offspring on the two stroke.

    That was always going to happen, 5 laps of Ruapuna sees the slowest Gixxer get lapped by the fastest Bucket with the other Gixxers in the last 1/4 of the field
