500cc Supersport.

[Ramsfan80]

Well I'm going to be at summit point as a spectator on Memorial Day when the 500 supersport runs the first time. I'm interested to see how big the field is and the bikes that are competitive. Like I said I'm looking to get into racing within a year or 2 and it would be easier on the wallet if I can competitively race a bike I already own!

Wait till someone brings a RVF400. All the 400's should dominate this class.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is pretty damn close to WERA's D-supersport, right? Seems like CCS sort of needed a place for those bikes anyway...

I think some of you are forgetting that these bikes are 20 years old, there's not many left in supersport legal configuration.

The KTM or Honda will be the bike to be on. Should be fun and I hope the participation takes off like it has in the 250 class.

Gonna pay pretty penny for the nc30 or nc35. Even FZR400 are hard to find for good price.

Don't know if they will let the other japanese bikes in a supersport as the bike has to be a streetbike from north america.In superbike they say worldwide.The Aprilia RS250 was sold as a streetbike in europe and other places but not usa or canada,but you can get tags for it in the usa or canada with knowing the way to do it and i have seen many with tags. So will they let the other bikes in???

Don't forget, North America starts at Panama and encompasses everything North. There's a few more countries down there that may have those bikes available.

Mark, I used to have an Aprillia RS250, the VIN is one digit short. The guys who have tags go to the DMV and add a zero on the end. At least that used to be the trick. But the bike is not legal for street use and was sold as a track bike.

It was allowed in LW classes that allowed the full on 250's, and there was a special exemption for MW sportsman as I recall.

Imagine trying to write a rule that would allow the Aprilia 250 but not the Honda or TZ? Nightmare.

With all of the bikes being named, do you think they will be cheaper once race prepped than just getting a new Honda 500 or KTM? I'm honestly asking as I don't know.

2015 schedule for this class?

[LWT Racer]

i believe it's at all the events now, not just select ones.

[apriliaman]

yep all events except the Florida region

I got an email back from Henry DeGouw... He will consider adding the class based on interest level. Sooo if you'd support this class and show up on the grid, send Henry an email!
