True Production Racing series

[nodrog:Me]

My guess would be either Kawasaki ZX6, or ER6 in the above classes.
Anybody else want to get their guess in?

i reckon its Honda Goldwings in a new class, similar to full contact stock car racing

MNZ make the rules, anything else has to be supplementary regulations for the event

Your point is? of course a person will have supplimentary regs if they run a one brand, proddy class or it couldn't work

Who said it is a MNZ series? However it's a fantatstic idea and it'd be good to see it get off the ground , the pricing is certainly affordable because at $5K to do the Nationals it's fairly cheap (unless you crash)

$5000 combined is all Sidecar Bob and I paid Kick. What did you and Divvo spend.......?

Supplementary regs still have to be approved by MNZ they get the final say not the person proposing them

No more than what you did, might be slighly more this coming season

Pah! I thought you sidecar boys were meant to be hard!? You should spend more than that on alcohol for a season.

No, Were not hard, we're BADD, click the link at the bottom of our posts.
Im thinking Hyosung 650.

Def sounds like a great idea! Wish it was around a year ago...... 5 rounds of nationals 2 sets of tyres each round thats 10 sets at a retail price of $7000 your pretty much just paying for tyres!!

I guess the details will come but i take it these bikes will run in a pre established class? Also they would have to be something in the pro twin class id imagine to be able to get a whole round out of 2 sets of rubber and be competitive on the tight budget...?

[eelracing]

My guess for what its worth would be the new ninja 250r

[Nicksta]

that was my guess too... the new kawaka 250's not that you would go through 1 set of tyres in a series on those!

[vtec]

I reckon a proper 400 series would be great. Pity they don't make those anymore. But a 250, that would be cool too.

[ArcherWC]

Im more inclined to think hobag 650's in pro twins

[FROSTY:Me]

No NO NO --its gonna be muzzy ikawasaki 250's -dont you guys read anything

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!! 250 Production returns.................

If it ends up being this then Moto Academy NZ might well look at getting on board also.

250 Proddy (albeit on 2T bikes) was simply the best thing since sliced bread for motorcycle racing in NZ. With the death of that class went a whole cohort of riders and a good level to enter, a level that 150 bikes simply cannot match.

But we will see in the fullness of time what Mr Gremlin has up is sleeves.

Full Noise!!!!

My 2c worth.

Ah rose-tinted nostalgia...
Of course those old 250s had a bit of go (certainly enough to hi-side lol) and new 250s, er, don't.

Shauns concept is exciting because it:
1. is all about the riding, not the bike
2. reduces the barriers to participation. Sorry RT, but this is really what our tiny, exclusive and ridiculously expensive `sport' needs.
3. has the potential to be good fun e.g. riders pitted togethor, helping each other, racing hard, talking shit and having a few afterwards. Whats its all about right?
Bring it on.

Reckon it would be quite a show (laugh??) to have 20+ 250s screaming around dicing with one another.

Those rosey glasses dimly recall racing (and I use that term advisedly) in the World SBK support race for 250 Production at Manfeild. 30 min race, live on TVNZ, 50 starters (or so anyway). And I beat Dave Cole!!!



ummmmm



to the line as he was about to lap me the 2nd time


Anyway, let's see.

Bet Shaun is enjoying this.......

Later
