    Ultimate F3?

    I really dont know what the rules are for F3 or even what a fast f3 racer would be so im sorry if the title is a bit misleading but this looks like a sweet light race bike! also it doesnt look like they have dumped a bucket load of cash to get it to that point

    That is very sexy and looks pretty nimble. I'm pretty sure it would be eligible for F3.

    That is GLORIOUS!
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    I think you'll find Jason doesn't hold that honour, quallman. While very fast and he bagged few race wins, the 2007 title went to the Kawasaki ZXR400 of Mr Bolwell.

    Yes, that RSVX would be eligible for F3. Would be a hoot to build and ride. Go to it people, someone build one and campaign it...

    Just been thinking, it's practically a motard in sportbike clothing isn't it? It has the road bike suspension, but so do race motards anyway, and it's still skinny with what looks like a high centre of gravity.

    Shit, I want one now more than anything.

    Very vey sexy looking piece of kit. I suppose it helps when you work for the company.
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    There is a class in the US called Super Singles which use 450 motocross engines - what class would that equate to in NZ. The idea appears to have some merit i all the major manufacturers are making 450 engines and if the specs were controlled it should be reasonably affordable

    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    So let me get this clear.

    You are allowed to use non-production based racing bike frame in F3 ?

    Very first sentence of the F3 rules in the latest rulebook/manual
    "The Folmula 3 Championship class will exist primarily for Production Based machines ....."

    but you are allowed to get the lastest racebike from off the GP circuit and repower it with a production competition (non roadgoing) dirtbike motor?
