    My comments were as a result of conversations with the scrutineer and technical officer in the pits at Levels. I didn't ask for names or details.

    Are you becoming a believer or just making the most of a bad idea ? Yes, some will come through from this class. Whether as Suzuki doubtless hope, they'll stay loyal to the brand is yet to be seen.

    "all parts and functions must remain as original" I doubt removal of the air filter element could be justified as a safety issue....

    I was told they will have a new model 150 out next year with 2 more Hp which would make the current model obsolete if it is correct

    In the Gixxer rules is where I found it

    All parts and functions must remain as per Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specifications unless stated otherwise.

    as it is not stated otherwise then you can not remove them

    Nor could shortening the superbike race by 2 laps be justified by safety , but they did

    Safety or in the interest of the brand of Bikes that couldn't make it?

    Sounds like a lot of wanking around and time wasting for a nothing class that will die out in a year or two at the most. These kids would be better off in Buckets.

    i was at the mnz conference where their were learned representatives of most clubs in new zealand in the road race discussion, each club rep was representing all of their members, they thought different to you.

    so when a rule is read there are two ways to read it, how you see it and how you would defend it, in the old jump start rule it said a blackboard must displayed, tell me why that blackboard couldn't be displayed at mcdonalds in rotorua?

    The safety aspect of it could be with regards to the refuel rule. The bikes were capable of doing the 20 laps without issue, but a red flag half way through the third lap would mean they need gas. Rule says no refueling in pit lane.

    So why should the owners of bikes that could make the distance have to kowtow to the ones that couldnt ?
