Engine Size Questions

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

2 seconds a lap faster will blow are binds lol

2 seconds a lap faster will produce a storm of protest forms.....Hope MNZ have enough in stock for this season.....

Doesn't happen, people just whine about cheaters but never put their money where their bullshit back stabbing mouth is

Incidentally, I spent the day at Taupo circuit today & observed Jessie Stroud riding one of these bikes very nicely.

He's a cool little bloke & I've been discussing his future with Andrew since my rider is all grown up & riding a superbike now.
He probably only beat his dad because he is 50kg lighter.

i remember when andrew did the stall to win on the mcintosh at hd he said dad was an animal!
been wondering when a stroud would jump on a gixxr, caleb is pretty handy too

don't be so sure of that.

[Doppleganger]

Its a fukin shame this excellent one make series is already in the shit and it hasn't even turned a wheel in anger yet.
Yep Suzuki perhaps should of sealed the engines out of the crate....too late now, we don't have weight scales to even the playing field with micro riders and looks like we are heading down the who can cheat the least obviously route too.

[sidecar bob]

The only way to stop people cheating is to have engine mods completely open & free, a bit like when my dog doesn't do what I say & I add to the command, "do whatever the fuck you want . . . good dog"
Unfortunately that avenue only favours the well funded or resourceful.

Yeah and I've got some questions of that Rocketship GN of yours Surely that's not legal




to be that fugly.

I can't argue about the fugly...but it's, at least, different, cough.

Amusingly, if I've got it right as to where the GSXR150 engines have come from, the GN should drop into one.
But the 230cc marking cast on the barrel that I left there as a teaser might be a giveaway...

I agree totally with Bob about regs being as open as possible. A classic is the speedway TQ regs when they allowed water cooling...."must be as used in the donor bike" There were a hell of a lot of hot GSXR750's about apparently...
Minisprints - bike engined - again as used in the donor bike. Never knew there were so many GSXR1100's in NZ with big bore kits....

[Buddha#81:Me]

so what happens in a year...... Suzuki buys them back gets drew to strip them return them to factory spec and we start all this again. can I buy one for $1k and put my youngest on it with his Revit hand me downs and AGV helmut or will Suzuki have a tantie because of a lack of brand loyalty?

I spoke to a parent on Saturday who would have brought one but was told if his kid didn't wear the appropriate gear there would be no points or prize money (incidentally would have been a conflict of his interest) so puts a mockery of Suzuki NZ wanting to "grow future champions" ....... and to add the prize money is Suzuki dollars so wont work at the local strip club unless Candy rides a bike.

I'd be prepared at this point to lay money (a small amount though - I am a pensioner...) that this class/series won't go past the first year.
In this form anyway.
It'd be a good way to get noticed though - win in illegal gear and score no points.
Wonder if they'd make you start off the back or simply ban you altogether.
Anyone needs a rules mechanic, i'm available....
