RA Dirty Rotten Cheaters

[CCS]

Jeff is right, what happened is between CCS and the rider. We followed our protocol and proper penalties were levied and the machine was moved into classes that it was legal for. That is the same thing we would do for anyone (like all the 1000's that try to run F-40.), we just want it right so everyone plays on a level field.

The real penalty for these people comes from the fellow racers reaction, sometimes good people make bad choices and in this case they were caught, disqualified and penalized according to past precedents and our rulebook.

A second offense will result in much harsher penalties, but based on the reaction I saw, I doubt if it will ever happen again.

Thank you for your reply, Kevin. Much appreciated.

a 600 chassis and a 750 in motor in GTU isn't deceitful?

FYI 750 engine in a 750 chassis

Hmmm, in that case my apologies to Team Appel for that comment

If I ever see that bike again in a Middleweight race I'd be pretty upset but I don't think they will be doing that again now that it's all cleared up. On another note, it's not that hard to get confused on the bikes. They look 100% identical, frame, engine cases, almost everything is identical on the bikes, and theirs happened to have 600cc forks too. If someone sold me a bike like that with a bill-of-sale only and told me it was a 600cc bike I'd take one look at the forks, see that they were 600cc colored, and believe I had a really strong 600, never thinking that it might be something else.

In fact I bought a Kawi 636 w/ the ZX6RR 600cc stickers on there and I was confused for months about whether it was a 600cc or 636cc, too lazy to look up the VIN. Finally someone pointed out that the swingarm pivot was not a RR but the regular 636 pivot.

I'm not trying to say that I know they did it on accident vs intentionally but it is another perspective, and I believe the penalties CCS imposed are completely fair for the situation.

WOW

WOW   

Hahahahahaha I love it. OK, I know I know, a 750 vs a 600 is a wayyyyy bigger difference than a 636 vs a 600. Just trying to come up with ideas and think the best of people here.

Well, more power to you for trying!  LOL

Quick and easy way to differentiate stock GSXR 600s from 750s.

600s have silver fork sliders, 750s have gold sliders.
600s redline at 16K, 750s redline at 15K.

sure there "lots of reasons" that 600 forks might end up on a 750 - deceitfulness would be right at the top and if it wasn't I would make damn sure people knew I had a 750 w/ 600 forks so NONE of this nonsense would even get started.... but that's the thing about liars - they ain't honest.
