3. SuperTwins GTU
- Up to 850 cc two cylinder, four stroke, four valve, water cooled
- Up to 250cc two stroke, two cylinder, water cooled
- Unlimited displacement, two cylinder, four stroke, two valves per cylinder, air cooled

As SuperTwins is a modern bike class, not a vintage class I make the proposal with the following in mind.
1) There is only one bike in current production that is eligible for this class, the Kawasaki EX650.
2) The Ducati 848 is eligible in EVERY other middleweight class
3) GTU denotes this class as a middleweight, not a lightweight class.
The Ducati 749 is no longer produced (750cc twin)
The SV650 is no longer produced (650cc twin)
These were the dominant bikes in this class in years past.
