http://www.cycleworld.com/article.asp?section_id=3&article_id=479 The second to last paragraph of this Cycleworld article caught my eye.... Mentions that the AMA will officially recognize a 450 class in WERA in '08, and possibly have a class of there own in '09. I don't mean to read into things too much, but does this mean WERA's gonna have/considering having a 450GP class, independant of F2?
That is a bone stock Motocross frame and motor.... just differnt suspension and wheels, as well as GP bodywork. So yes, it is a bad dream I guess, because you are seeing things
I wouldnt say that. It is a NEW breed of bikes, as an introduction to supersports. A 450 single would be closer to a 125 road race machine than a 250, as the 250s they race against on dirt are singles as well. You have to admit, for a n00b a thumper will be more forgiving than even a 125gp, and it will still be gobs of fun for hooligan seasoned riders as well though
Intriguing. That is an old TZ, but with a 426 thumper motor in it huh? Not quite the same thing, as it probably weighs more (a 450f weighs about 220lbs) but damn close. Too bad I am still broke from crashing and trying to put my heap of GSXR back to something that resembles a motorcycle :down:
What about "reed VALVES" "rotary VALVES" both intake VALVES....... this saying has never made sense to me because of those things
Ok, so If I start with a 1998 yz400 (to save money on the doner bike) and rip off my suspension of my GSXR...... I wonder if I could make it work. Now to figure out the tank situation too
I understood the class to be pretty heavily regulated as far as exactly what you can build, and what parts you can use. I overheard a comment about WERA already having a clubman class and this being something different. It sounds like a lot of fun, but might not be as cheap as it seems on the face of it.
