Everyone with a 450 multi will be unhappy about that

So to my reading that would mean all those SVs with gsxr front ends would have to swap back to OEM part, is that correct?
Cans, but no full systems... No porting and polishing etc...
Suppose that would make it fairer on all in the class.

SV 650's would be out too

4-3 Twin cylinder four strokes shall be limited as follows.

b)Over 500cc two valve per cylinder, are restricted to 750cc and fuel as above. Over 640cc must not be water-cooled.

Or am I mistaken?

The SV's are allowed in close to std form covered under section C in the MNZ proposal..my 450 motor is just about finished...might be quick for 1 year I guess

Bartman10, look at 4-3c

**cowpoos** · 25th August 2006, 22:39

Thats funny,these are pretty much the rules I was suggesting, when MNZ first mentioned SVs in F3,rather than all the rest of us with 400s chasing our arses & spending money on 450 kits(which I have refused to do)SVs should have been allowed to race for the first season in standard trim & then we could see about mods

I agree, these new rules look to be fair, though SV's and the like should be just allowed to modify standard shocks, there isa $1500 + saving!

Oh, and thanks for ruining my power to weight ratio by festooning the ZX10R with Sawyer stickers, Bistard!!!

So Garry did you put the GSX front end on? Didn't get to ask at Manfield.

Pity MNZ allow people to head in one direction and then reverse their stratergy. What was their original intention for F3?

**FROSTY:Me** · 26th August 2006, 23:38

My bike has a a GSXR frontend just like the one Glen Williams has in his bike now. Can't wait to test it out this Friday at Manfeild. Glen will still kick my arse but not by as much now (less than 2 secs a lap I'll be happy).

By 2008 if Suzuki are still making SV650s I'm sure they will be a much more refined bike and a 3rd generation model.
