    That's true, but none of those things are appreciably different from the RGV parts... the cylinders and heads only have slight changes and the airbox and exhausts are basically only different for packaging reasons. I like where you're going with that, but you're drawing a long bow. Mind you, I have one with an Italian crank and rods. American pistons, English heads and a Czech ECU... that's gotta be getting closer.

    Hell - when I started this thread, I was unaware of the opinions held regarding bears. I simply have a mate who has bought an RS250 and was wondering if he would be eligable to run in the class.

    Its a bit of a sore point to some aparently though. Why so?

    If you don't agree with the principle, what does it matter, just dont partake in bears racing. Each to their own I say!

    By the way I don't race bears and don't have a euro bike to race, so am not biased in anyway.

    One that slipped through the system, they were dressed up as BMW's & apparently that's how this one slipped through the guy was put under a certain amount of pressure to give it up but resisted. Fair Spares were true to their name & allowed him access to needed parts, so I'm told.

    Gold.
    So not only are Jappas bad, but eurotrash exists in bears.

    Do you also get stickers so you can park closer to the track?

    I agree, qualification for bears should only be allowed after all components of the engine & chassis have been stripped down and its 100% established where their manufacturing source is.

    NOTE: If this argument/position is taken to its fullest then the source of the aluminium & steel that makes up said motorcycle is most likely to be from a non bears country........

    More Racing bitching, yeah!
    I don't know why the rules cannot be taken from the name, I think if they renamed the class to BITCHARS it would make more sense!
