Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous. It is, however, extremely unforgiving of inattention, ignorance, incompetence, or stupidity

Bring it....  I'm game....  Spec class with very similar bikes.  Who wouldn't want to do that!!  Plus I can justify a new dirtbike to my wife every two years or so!!

How wouldja gear for Road America? It would take a 4 tooth rear sprocket with a rolling start!! Anyway, It would be a blast overall. :-)  I'd do it.  Looks like a pretty low cost venture with a moderate initial "investment" (?) Kinda like SuperMoto only faster w/ knee draggin!!

I'm in.

Faster ?
Maybe with some gearing on top end .
I'm still alittle confussed on the 450cc thing the XR650r will make more power and last for ever it's much stronger.

But I've heard the initial investment is around $12k.  An SV650 really done up is a lot less expensive.  Might be faster on track too.

Doesn't it already fit in a class or two already with in the bloated CCS schedule? 

There was the MZ Skorpion Cup Series a few years back.  Similarly, it fit into some classes.

You're missing the point. It's not about "fitting into a class or two" its about being competitive in a class.

Unless I misunderstood, they are talking about restricted modifications to these bikes that would in turn emphasize the riders ability rather than budget.

This would be an easy class to run in conjunction with one of the other classes.

It's not about faster, its about showcasing rider ability.

If the bodywork were left off and older models were allowed this could be a really cheap class.  Just from looking around locally a bike and 17" wheels can be done for under $4k.

  Isn't that pretty much Supermoto?
would be kind of redundant, don't you think?
