Bimotas in LW SS...

[MACOP1104]

Buell 1200, Duc 1000DS, Bimota whatever they are.  I say let them run Ltwt SBK but not Ltwt SS

[Ducmarc]

the only change i wish they would make is allow 900 aircooled 2valves carberated in ultralight i can't run with those big inch bikes either or i could build an 800 motor for the 900 i guess but that's like building a new bike.

Marc, I was thinking about a 800 motor in the Superlight frame as Chris suggested. He said his weighed in something about 325#. That would be a pretty fast Ultralight SB. Or i could just cut everything off the 800 I have now.

On top of the DS, Bimota, and Buell in LW SB i would like to see the 748 in LW SB.

Maybe we should add the early 2000's I4 600s to lightweight as well.... The 748 was competive then.....

Give the real lightweight bikes a break already!

You're just not getting it, the real LW bikes are supposed to go beat up on the real ULW bikes. Then the real ULW bikes are supposed to beat up on...wait...that's not going to work.

[Ducmarc]

ULW  beats up vintage and vintage beats up 10 speeds and they beat up coaster brake  and they piss off the segway guys and on and on.........  been hanging around the flat track forum they have the same problems except its all of the sanctioning bodies in one forum. like the tower of babel.    hey markie you want to go flattracking?

At least your the first bike under 1000cc across the line!!

why don't we put your motor in my frame its at 310lbs without all the nonsense electroincs  or we could just say we did and leave it alone      just kidding  i think i have enough parts to build a 800 minus a good set of pistons. i'm thinking about a st2  it has a linked suspension, ram air and a frame much like a superbike but better than a 888 but that's still to big for ultra light.

I've got some good 800 pistons albeit stock. Will that work?

superbike rules mandate original frame and engine combo don't they?   

[majicMARKer]

And SS rules require the same cams and crank in the original location, but it happens.

Now Marc, we could talk about that 750 made to develop 90hp at that 300# weight. I know where there is one and he wants my 800.

[Ducmarc]

That would work except the 5spd

[majicMARKer]

With my 800 I never use 6th. I like sprocket stock giving me a better starting gear. Those Ducatis love to wheelie and I just can't get my belly far enough forward.

[Gino230]

I doubt a stock 1000 DS or 1100 for that matter makes 100 RWHP. Mine was one of the best running ones and it made 92 with the airbox lid intact, back when it was fresh that is ;) slip ons, power commander, high flow breather. The 1100 makes maybe a little more.

Comparing any of the Bimotas now racing in ccs (except for Mavros's) to stock bikes is about the same as comparing your chevy malibu to a NASCAR cup car. One of the Motocorse Bimotas has a $50,000 wiring harness. No I'm not kidding.

Those bikes are built to the rules and are fast, and are not racing in SuperSport. I think the rules as they stand are pretty good, with ULW now allowing SV's.

As far as ULW, I wish I had my old 750 back, yes it was a 5 speed but I never thought that was a big deal- 350 pounds even with that big old steel tank.....I sometimes wonder how fast I could go on that bike now if I had it back....but man, was it ancient!
