Read The Rule Book.

[Been-Jammin]

What did I miss? The rulebook states; (first line page 20)

Lightweight Superbike;
Twin Cylinder, Liquid Cooled, Up to 700cc

This engine has been destroked to 699cc and run in WERA competition as a lightweight (twin cyl under 700 cc).

I bought the bike from Frank Law who ran in lightweight with the sv650's. Chris Rossi ran it before that. It was controversial, but allowed by WERA rules.  (downsizing is allowed with WERA)

So far I'm thinking I can run AM Thunderbike and SuperTwins with CCS. It's putting out ~105HP/45T which may still be enough HP to be competitive.

[benprobst]

basically any motorcycle can be competitive in the AM. ranks. especially one that makes 30 hp more than the sv's and probably 10 - 15 more than alot of the buells, not to mention weight. supertwins can be a tough class, but most of us who were succesful in the lightweight am. classes on sv's and buells had success in the supertwins class as well.

DAMN 105hp...... who built and tuned that thing, is this that Bruce Meyers (BCM) / RS Cycles bike that Eric Wood rode about 5-6 years back?

Yep. That's the BCM bike.

What about running this 'contraption' in other lightweight classes?  Supertwins would be a given, but what other classes could Benn-Jammin run this bike in and be competitive?
