1987 hurricane , what class would it run or is it worth the time to build
Odd, my Aprilia Mille-R has radial calipers bonestock. The Aprilia Edwards replicas have radial calipers. The photo above shows Edwards and Hayden on RC51 SP-2s, but we’re limited to SP-1s.
Radial calipers were introduced in 1997 by Brembo on Valentino Rossi’s Aprilia RSW250. Radial brakes were everywhere on twins during this era.
Don’t quite get the 748 rule? The bike is not legal unless its bored out? Main engine kit for upgrade is 853cc? rule states must be 996cc? I know the rule says same engine as frame but would putting a 996 motor in a 748 frame be that different then running a true 996?
Well the fact is the 748 was never a Superbike.. The 916 Was then…. Also Handling against the Bigger Bikes will have a advantage on many tracks thus making the restrictions and bike selections useless…
