That Bieber is a forward thinking kid. I am sure this is going to work out. That is really the best way to do the Cup. If I were in a position (and my daughter was ready for it) I would rent a bike for a race for him.
Every possible criticism of the new series has been made repeatedly. Time to move on and stop bitching.
and here is the Aprilia line up. http://www.roadracingworld.com/news...uperstock-1000cc-class/#.VN51iYuY37k.facebook
Even at 180lb, I would 100% do a KTM rental round with KWR. Only need one year chopped off the birth certificate: Paging all BBS document forgers...
Pumped to get this program rolling. Should be a great opportunity, especially for the following scenarios: 1.) "We don't want to buy a bike first year, maybe try a few rounds and see how it goes, buy a bike next year if we want to jump in with both feet" 2.) "We want to just run our home race" 3.) "Let's just buy a stock RC390 for $5,499 to keep at home as a practice bike for club races and rent the race bike for MotoAmerica rounds" 4.) "Wow, there are a lot of costs other than just buying the bike. We also have to buy tire warmers, stands, tools, canopies, crew apparel, maintenance materials, and transport the bike to the rounds - renting is cheaper and easier" 5.) "We should transport our own bike to the rounds that are close, then fly and rent a bike for the further rounds to avoid transport costs and time off of work"
all good points. it is awesome your filling the void to help with these different scenarios. good stuff
You had me sold at number one. I'm glad you're doing this. Hopefully this can convince some young talent and their Race Dads to give it a shot! :up:

his agent told me they are still working on the 'right' deal. plenty of offers.... to ride for no paycheck..
Congrats, Kyle, and best of luck to you guys this year. I wonder if any other teams are trying something similar w 600's or 1000's? Seems like a sound idea if the team already has the gear.
