Lite-weights ?

[Ripper]

In a mailing from Fusa this winter,there was a comment on a rule change, saying that lite weight multi's can only be up to 400cc ,as per the fzr 400.But what about the 'fz' 600 which is a two valver?The fz was eligible in '02.They stated displacement but made no comment on anything else.I'm I missing something here or what?Any info (good/reliable info) would be appreciated.

Go back to the CCS website and check out the 2003 rulebook. You should be able to get your answer there.

 I just noticed the new XB9R and pre99 SV's are legal for Middleweight Sportsman. I hope I'm wrong, but I think that may  be real hard on everybody else. I guess if it get's out of hand they can fix it mid season.

The first model year for the SV's were 1999.  

I do agree on the XB9R, CCS may need to address this in the future.

But there are not too many out there that can plunk $10,000 down for the bike plus another $1300.00 for the chain conversion plus.....
