I knew this would happen and The PTwins DEBATE.

I guess the question is, how do you define 'motard'? I wouldn't call the 690 Duke a motard myself. Or, if I suddenly was gifted with a large sack of cash, what if I took a CRF450R, mounted a 600 front end on it, a longer rear shock, and wrapped it in 250GP plastic... is it still a motard? (I so want to build one of those...)

they will define it for you very quickly

I agree, there should be spec classes, and there should be 'anything goes' classes. Just make sure each is clearly defined as to what it is. I can min-max tech rules all day long, thats why for my debut on a full sized machine I'm sticking to a fairly restrictive class, so I don't have room to play.

It's somewhat unfortunate that our current race classes don't leave much between "spec, crappy bike" racing and "open your wallet and your calendar" superbike racing. Seems like there should be some room in there for riders who want to create some sort of crazy monstrosities out of dumpster diving bikes and pit them against each other in some sort of frankenbike race.

Sadly, I'm not sure there's enough mad scientist racers out there to make it viable. But it would sure be a fun class to watch

"Rider #666 comes down the front straight on his EX-YZ-CR-Somethingorother and, oh god his triple tree just came off! But wait, no, it's transforming into a three wheeled fire-breathing pink tricycle! You just don't see this kind of racing anywhere else!"

aren't supersport, superbike and gp spec classes??

i haven't following this whole "lets run different bikes in certain classes to stir the pot" threads ... but from personal experiance ... i'd worry less about what bikes you can run in what classes, or what you can do in them, and just make sure you can make it around the track consistently.

I'll have some of what THAT man is drinking please! Make it a double!

I'd so be in for a proper Scrapyard Wars race class.

aren't the GP classes basically a no-holds-barred "ride the fastest machine you can afford to build" class?

i always thought of it as one step up from superbike or something....i've never had to worry about it, i'm pretty sure my slipon and vortex sprockets are legal mods lol

This isn't a "lets run different bikes in certain classes to stir the pot" thread.

It is a what bike can I legally run in Ptwins thread.
