the class in the MMMCI is "chinese 125cc engines" and 12" inch rims. They do however allow 14" fronts, which is probably a dissadvantage anyway. that's for seniors.
Juniors run 110cc. Go to the MMMCI website and have al ook.
As far as I know, 140cc is definitely out. But then again, who knows what everyone is running. I'm sure some of them have 150cc bored out 125's with all the mods possible.
It's great fun and the ride days that the VPBA run are a great family environment. there is a family of 4 who go, mum, dad and two boys and they ALL ride! Great fun. I'm taking my daughter to south morang this weekend on sat arvo to give her a go on her Pit Pro 110 with scooter tires to see if she likes it.
Here's my 1 of my Motard/street bikes (I'll get a pic of the AGB-29 & KX250 soon)
The lil CRF50 with 88kit , it's small & can out corner the bigger 110's & 125's easy as, if i put the 125 motor in it, it would be a Force on the track,
Hey foolspeed33d.It would be a great idea to run 138/140cc or open class Mini Motard racing as well as the current class I think.Just look at how many 140cc bikes are being sold now,more Bikes on the track= more exposure for Pit bike racing !!!
Or is the insurance an issue ie Capacity of bike not exceeding 125cc
I don't think it's insurance. Just trying to keep the costs down. As for a CRF50 etc. they are the best bike but would need work on suspension brakes etc. and a decent 125cc engine. this setup would be the fastest as quite simply, it's the lightest.
I'd go that if I didn't want a dirt bike as well.. build up a pit pro 50 with a 125 engine, decent forks and shock, tires, brakes etc. Darryl at "The Track" in south morang has this and it's very fast. He just crashes too much, but it should be the best setup by far.
thanks for all your help mate.i know you guys in melbourne are keen but i cant find any information on mini motard racing in nsw can any one help me.cheers
Hey Barber.Contact the www.nswminimoto.com.au Spooky is your man to talk to .They have a forum you can talk to the guys about Mini Motard racing on......
Hi All,
I run the website http://www.vsmr.net specific to full sized Supermotards.
I am also involved in the push to get mini motards on the track at GPTC in South Morang on Melbournes outskirts.
Braxton Laine the Owner of GPTC is assisting in every effort to make this happen, and although the 50's Compound there gets a good workout on the weekends, It would be good to see some more 'pitties' set up with scooter tyres and come out for the track days every Saturday from 10AM.
As soon as numbers pick up Racing starts... :twisted:
Is there many riders out there currently with mini motards that would take advantage of this open practice track access?
If so, See you at GPTC this Saturday... 8)
