The biggest problem with the Superlite/F3 class is there's lots of bikes out there, but the owners seem to be content fiddling with them in the shed rather than riding them.

2 new builds happening now. So with mine and Richards thats 4 ready for racing the winter series. Goal is more by Suzuki Series. Lots of development over the last year has given us a good knowledge base to put these together quick. Mine did not miss a beat all last year.

F3/Superlite is indeed a fantastic class. What we need is more bikes on the grid at Nationals. This would help inspire people and give them confidence that it is a prospering class; not one that has a limited life expectancy.
If we could get enough people to commit to doing Nationals in Superlight then we could get a race of our own...similar to what the pro-twin people did a couple of years ago. Unfortunately this could be the death nail for 125gp...but I suspect that is only a matter of time before they go the same way as 250gp...

They will when people keep speaking about them like that^ and not encouraging young riders onto them. Their incredible ability to teach riders will unfortunately only likely be realised when it's too late and our up and coming star riders learn to race tractors before jumping onto 600s. Comparing 125Gp and 250GP is apples and oranges, comparing GP bikes and production racers is kiwifruit and potatoes.
That aside, I like superlite/F3 a lot, especially the NSR300s and the RS450! Leigh, you're riding like a mad man out there, nice one! I'd love a go on lots of the bikes in the class and I enjoy trying to outride the bigger capacity bikes on my RS125 at club meetings.

If I read the rules correctly then the real weapon would be a warmed over NS400R...
I happen to have an engine.......
and an RG400 Rolling Chassis.....
hmmmm

Ummm, Yup, Build it and bring it out... (Might be a trek form Banks to Manfeild, but it has been done before).. It will even qualify for Posties.
The NSR300's are making a lot power though... Almost as much as a standard RG500

The best thing about the class is that there is no perfect bike. Its what the rider thinks is the best option. What works for some does not work for others. There are also good options around that don't need to be all custom. The best bike in the world can still go slow with the right lump of meat on top.
Low personal B.M.E.P.
forget the RG400 chassis - it's heavy and crap geometry.
If you're serious, I've got a CBR250RR chassis here you could use which would be a much better choice.
Forum whore
Put that NS400 engine in an NSR250 chassis!
Then you would be talking!

Give them to Wobbly and hope you don't have to sell too many body parts.

Ran my first race in F3 yesterday at Ruapuna, some serously quick bikes and riders (I'm slow) out there. Hoping that some day I might be able to get up there an have a blast with them, just gotta keep knocking my lap time down bit by bit. Not sure how competitive an NC24 on sport demons with me on top will ever be though, might have to get out in the shed and start tinkering...
