MONGO - Tuono in the c class ?

What about the SV1000 . The Tuono kills the SV in HP and torque !!!

 

It's time to sell that pig and move on....

(I suggest a Triumph 675)

 

Get over it Dan...

 

if my Tuono will kill it that bad, then why ya wanna show up in the first place ????

 

Not to mention, why not a Mille? A Tuono is a Mille w. tall bars and no bodywork...no other changes. Don't get me wrong, I think the prev. gen 1000cc twins are a food fit in the C classes these days, but just having the Tuono in there is a mystery. A TL-R in superstock trim is no match for a 2nd gen Tuono, and neither is a SS RC51 or a SS SV1000, etc.

Let 'em all in!

 

What experince do you base that statement on

Ab

 

I'd leave them in HWT... Just be more traffic to contend with in the c classes. However, I agree that performance wise, there is no match. Yyou have to ride the hell out of TLR and an SV to keep up with the C bikes.

 

I would say let them all in !!!! There are only 2 or 3 at the track each weekend anyway .

 

Why didn't you run the B classes last year?

 

Because my bike is a slow as I am .

 

Which part are you disagreeing with? Is it the part that the other prev. generation twins are roughly equal to (or slower than) a Tuono, or the part where they'd be a fine fit in the C classes in SS trim?

If it's the latter, I can tell you without a doubt that my 03 SS prepped R6 was faster around any track than the SS trim TLR that I have in my garage...never mind an 09 ZX-6 or whatever. If it's the former, I've ridden on a track or raced all of the bikes in my little list, and the Tuono was as fast or faster than any of them, and handled better than any of them.

EDIT: one thing I don't know is how fast a Tuono/Mille is w/ a full-on SS build. If it's too fast for the C class, than none of that other stuff matters. My point was just that if a Tuono is legal, then there is no reason I can think up not to allow Mille's, TL-R's, SV1000's, Superhawks, etc.

 

MONGO , At least at the Sv1000 , tlr , and the super hawk.

 

go to work

 

Hey Mongo , can I race my slow ass sv1000 in the C class , PLEASE ?????

 

...and the Golden Globe for 'Most Deserving of a KABLAAAMMMOOO' goes to...
