    Just how did Aprillia manage to make a V-Twin that puts out average power for its size and still needs to be rebuilt every 50 hrs?

    I'm sure there's a reason?

    No it is not. The new rules this year by mnz bans motards racing with normal road racing bikes. You can put an SXV550 engine in an RS250 frame and race it in F3 but not allowed in pro twins due to it being modified.

    Cleve your thinking of the F3 rules not ProTwin.

    To race in protwin 10 units need to be sold in NZ but I'm sure MNZ would have the final say on the legality of racing a racebike in an essentially production based class. Also the Handlebars would be to high so would have to be dropped.

    The current machines at the pointy end of F3 are the most advanced racebikes in NZ as SS and SB are just production bikes with a few bits added.
    A top F3 bike has extensive modifications and race components fitted.

    No, the guy John SV650 said "f3 ..."

    Johnsv650 SAID "f3" ... hence my comment

    This thread is about ProTwins isn't it?

    But read and understand the F3 rules before you start misquoteing them.
    All of section 5 (that is 5 5-1 5-2 etc) only concerns 250cc two strokes. Yes thats half the rules apply to bikes that no body seems to run these days !
