    Is there a naked bike class for racing.

    I have a naked bike. A 2005 Speed triple 1050cc three cylinder engine. I was wondering if there is a naked bike category. The reason I ask is since my bike is no where near as fast or light as the 1000's that normally race I would already be at a huge disadvantage then throw in my skill and I'm screwed. Any thoughts?

    you have to have a belly pan to catch anything that may drip/flow out of your bike. look into a racing fairing kit for your bike for sure.

    I see alot of TL1000s with full fairings, ninja 650s with full fairing kits. I have no Idea about triumphs though.

    I used on my FZ1 belly pan from R1. After the crash I sold the Fz and the pan is the only thing I have left from it. Just some scratches on it. If you want to try it let me know. Martin

    I am pretty sure I have seen people use turkey roasting pans underneath. Ray-Ray, can you chime in on this? Glenn #62

    This is a temporary solution only if the proper product is not available (backordered, etc)

    You begin your racing career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.
