    The triumph is up against 10 years of racing development in the I4's It will take time for them to get to the WSS level.

    Yeah, Young is involved because he's been racing the 675 at British SS as a privateer since the start. He also was a (if not "THE") 675 test rider for Triumph during it's development.

    It will be a while, but I hope Triumph keeps supporting it.

    So 675 cc bikes can run up against 600 cc bikes?

    How do they make that fair? Restrictor plates?
    Or do they run as is semi stock?

    About McCoy...
    funny joke about the titanium !
    That guy like the $6 million dollar man (lee majors) !

    The 675 is a triple, so it gets a displacement break.

    Most recent results from today's testing:

    I tempi (ufficiosi) Supersport
    1. Parkes (Aus-Yamaha) 2:03.0;
    2. Foret (Fra-Yamaha) 2:03.0;
    3. Pitt (Aus-Honda) 2:03.3;
    4. McCoy (Triumph) 2:05.0;
    5. Young (GB-Triumph) 2:07.0.

    675's are running stock engines from what the guys on the Triumph forum are saying (Is that not the rule?).

    WSS bikes can run a factory race kit. The rules are more open in certain spots than say US Supersport rules.

    The question is whether Triumph actually has one.

    Young actually helped develop one. Just hit the market last winter if I'm not mistaken.

    The way I see it, you got an extra one
    The bikes in my garage have an average of 2.25 cylinders
