What kind of corners?, I reckon you'd be faster through the higher speed corners but through the slower corners I'd be very surprised if you'd keep up

They may have faster 'over the ground speed' but because their lines are soooooooo sweeping wide the end result is you arrive at the exit at about the same time (or in Chops case I'd hazzard a guess faster).

Hampton Downs and most notably the hairpin. Id be keen to race someone on a 125 around a go kart track

so what your saying is if i limited your Beemer to 40 odd hp, (shit ill be nice and give you 50) you would go around any track in the known universe faster than a 125????

if so, please provide me with the drugs your smoking???

please provide me with the drugs your smoking???

I hope you're going to share

Because I don't see a post classic, bucket or sidecar doing 298 clicks and 0-100 in under 3 seconds very often. Rethorical question I presume?

Well just slow down then. Reduce the risk. It's not a race ya know

[budda]

I always watch F3 but thats not really a support class as its a championship class.

Practice day is not official so to get more racing in SBK + 600 combined, Sidecars, F3 and Maybe 125s Combined depending on numbers then we can get some decent testing done. Clubmens, Motard and Streetstock etc are support classes at this series. Not sure what support classes are running at R4 though

StreetStock is run on-track with ProLite 250's, which IS a Championship class

[Kickaha]

Why are the risks greater for F1 + F2?

They're not, the Prima Donna riders just like to think they are, makes them feel special or something

lol not a chance but the point was, you were saying in our series the Superbikes are slower then 125 and F3 in the corners

[CHOPPA]

Yup thats good then, if classes can be combined thats great. Maybe the 600 and superbike practices could be joint together and we can get double the time

[slowpoke]

Double post-itis strikes again....d'oh!

[slowpoke]

Yea well we all know 90% of anyone who is not related to the sport come to watch F1 and F2. The rest are just that - support classes. So we need practice time, the risks are a lot greater for us. What would you know about racing a superbike WT

Duuuude, you aren't doing your cause much good. Everyone pays the same money for entry so there's no room for us and them type stuff. You are just alienating the other 90% of the paddock.

Superbikes more dangerous? They may be the fastest but they don't have a dirty great hinge in the middle and twice as much power as when they rolled off the production line 30 years ago.

Nah, as a newcomer to the superbike ranks I'd be opting for a lower profile and just observing the lay of the land. It's a minefeild on and off track so treading lightly is the best policy. Case in point: I think Choppa was more concerned with losing the morning on track than track time to other classes. Here you have gone off on a tangent, pissed off everyone other than a Superbike rider and all over a misunderstanding.

I occasionally wobble out for a race (chase?) on my superbike and I'd rather not be tarred with the brush you are waving around.

Dude, next time your out on your bike come over say hi, see first hand how much of a wanker I am!

PS: are any of you fair weather racers going it's pissing down right now !

Where and when on a race track in NZ does 298kms get hit? Just wondering as after watching the speeds from Round one of the WSBK at Phillip Island - on significantly higher speced bikes than what is run in NZ - were in excess of 300 but thats with big horses.......

I will no doubt be corrected

[Wingnut]

Interesting to point out that when I did F3 it was the most important class, then I did 250gp, and that became the most important class, now I am on a 600 which is definately the most important class, one day soon I will probably jump on a superbike (god forbid) and then that will be the most important class. amirite?

Ahhhhh - a realistic perspective. Its so true.

Pukekohe back straight's far in excess of 300kay on an NZSBK I'd wager. Luckily, there's no racing there anymore.
