I was gonna say 10, but thought some of you would feel it was too old. But 10 years is good, buckets should be kept at least close to the bucket of shit beginings, otherwise it becomes just another full price racing class. That would keep the likes of me, who do it coz its cheap, priced out of the game
There is no dark side of the moon, really, as a matter of fact. Its all dark...

But if you took the SV's out, how many bikes would be left? Thought the F3 class was starting to die before the SV's were introduced. I know they were left over from the SV cup or what ever it was, but dont think any manufacturer currently makes a new 400cc sports bike, do they? So you were going to end up with a class of 10-15 year old 400's and later and later model 125's, who already have there own class.
And what happened to the Superstock class for 150's? Why not have a 2 stroke and 4 stroke division and let them run together, in their own championship?

yes gav i do realise that, if fact that was the reason i got the FXR in the first place. i needed something reliable.
if you look at my end placings for the two seasons I got 5th place in my first season. Yes my first ever season of racing riding. I know i didnt get this because i was fast. I got it because i was consistent. THERES NO POINT BEING FAST IF YOUR NOT CONSISTENT
then in the second season I got 9th.
why?? because i was inconsitent. Sure, i was riding faster and i could finish in the top five if i tried really hard, but i kept falling off and my bike keep crapping out.
so i though to my self "i need a bike that is realitivly powerful stock (i have no money to modify) it needs to be four stroke (i have had enough of shitty two strokes) and it needs to handle half deacent (RG50s are poo)
and the FXR fits all of them perfectly and it came at the right price of $500 so i wasnt going to say NO.
So for me as a rider, i can only improve my skils if im on the track. Not sitting in the pits with a blown piston.
Cheers, Glenn

And if you took out all the 4 cylinder bikes you would have even less of a class
SV cup were basically stock bikes, the fastest of the SV650 racing now have very little resemblence to those bikes, ohlins suspension,modded motors and costing a damn sight more than any 4 cylinder F3 bike ever has

Sorry to bring this back on topic but...
Some fat buggers arse...

Easy does it there young chap. Language like that is unnecessary, you need to start thinking before you speak (type). Thought that by now and all the bad rep et al you would have got the message?
Pretengineer
hmmm yes i though so, the language is a little OTT but he made his point i guess

Andy Bolwell is still able to win on a ZXR, maybe if some others spent money on their 400's they could have a shot at winning too?

I'm sure they could and they would still have spent a lot less than the class leading SV
