ProTwin rule clarifications

[svr]

er whoops sorry John I meant Aprilia 550 (road legal - SVX?) 70hp & 130kg

Perhaps it is all in a name, but whenever I heard the class referred to by anyone in authority it was referred to as 650 Pro-Twin.
Is it the case that bikes are 650cc and nothing else, or is that name just a default setting and that an SVX550 would be legal.

Actually giving it a thought would suggest that it might not meet the 900mm (?) handle bar rule and not too many other mods are permitted.
Besides, they are too dear aren't they???

Bring out the Gim.. I mean Raptor.

Rule 1. "twin cylinder four strokes up to 650 cc ... "
With clip-ons and lowered suspension would have bars < 900 mm.
No upper cost limit (they were going for $14-15K last year). I don't think they're really in the spirit of the class, but they point to a bit of a hole in the rules for allowable bikes.

Best to leave both the gimp and the raptor in the dungeon...

There is NO rule in Pro Twins stating a max bar height. However if the Pro Twins are run with the F3 Class then an SXV can not enter cause the F3 Motard rule applies. But by the looks of it the Pro Twins will have the numbers to race my themselves next season therefore there will be no reason why they can't enter.
