Ozzy27 F3 Race bike

[Shaun]

I am taking a very cool K5 GSXR 600 to Manfeild this weekend, with only 3000Kz on it, New Race pipe, Yoshi Footpegs, Yoshi instrument bracket, Yoshi ECU, Power commander, Light weight rear sub frame, New Race body work, Complet K7 GSXR ) front end.

Another $1 grand on top of sale price, and yay, there is another trick F3 Bike for $10K The $1K is my guess for work by OZZY

niiiiiice, this just could be the revival F3 has needed since the SV's were allowed (then kind of got spoiled by their dominance)...

Jim dougherty From MNZ has been around last weekend to inspect the 450 and Gave it the Big Tick !!!!

I think the weekend has proved that a bit of inovative thinking and hard work can work out really well. A bike that would cost between 10-15k total to build can win at national level With a GOOD RIDER on board.
This shoots down all the talk of cheque book racers and shows get out there and try things and you might just exceed your expectations!
The other important things were it looked good and sounded really cool as well as being fast!
So all you out there what other ideas are out there for a cool F3 race bike???

Nah, but you should see the helium filled carbon fibre crank for it mate - i have to tie to the floor it s so light.

The only helium filled crank on your bike would be the rider

10 points for timing and execution there sir.

I'm sure the Vic Club muttered something about 300Kg minimum wet weight for riders with a surname starting with W.

So all you out there what other ideas are out there for a cool F3 race bike???

1. Easton - style bike that doesn't overheat or wobble - maybe based around 250 gp chassis?
2. Destroked 600 of course! - Certain South Island types are cooking these up. An R6 only has to lose 10mm of stroke. All that valve area, mmm. An issue getting squish / compression back maybe? Could a crank be modified to move the pins in 5mm? Expensive and Peaky but probably the ultimate option.
3. Super-single (KTM Duke engine?) in 250gp style chassis. This would be the nicest to ride. KTM have built / tested one of these and according to them is as quick as a SS600
4. All-purpose Commuter SV. This remains the option of choice for riding to / racing / riding home / and to work on monday. Nice soft seat, plenty of room for saddlebags, etc....

Geez, what a great class aye! Something there for everyone. Makes you wonder why there were only 11 of us out there on Sunday...

These are ideas - Hats off to Ozzie and Jason for making their ideas work, and to Genn W and Terry Fitz for developing (and riding) the SV F3 concept to its practical limit.
