Twin Sprint Roadracing Class
You can now use SLICK tyres.
This new class is the perfect class for someone
starting out in roadracing. The costs involved with this class are much lower
than most others. The machines available to compete in this class are generally
cheaper than the others. Running costs are also less. Tires are one of the
biggest costs in racing and with this class the tire wear is very low when
compared with supersport, superstock and superbike.
Some machines available are (but limited to);
Kawasaki ER6
Suzuki SV650
Ducati monster 620
Hyosung GT650R
Ducati 695
and any other Twin cylinder machine under 700cc.
Very few modifications are allowed to the machines. Most of
the allowed mod's are for safety with a few to make them a better racing
machine. No internal engine mod's are allowed. Some suspension mod's are allowed
as well as changing the exhaust system and jetting.
Information about prepping your Suzuki SV650 can be found
on the SVdownunder forum. http://www.svdownunder.com/forums
