The changes to the twins class was the above line item. Once a proposal is made, the committee discusses and has the ability to amend the original suggestion in any way the discussion warrants at the meeting. We will all have to wait and see what is ratified by the board, but with the elimination of the 749R, non-entry of the 848, and removal of the air cooled Ducs over 922cc it has pushed the STU class far further towards a lightweight twins class than any other change in recent years. The issue I see with this is it doesn't go the extra step to provide a replacement class for these true middleweight twins. But that wasn't suggested and as a new suggestion cannot be introduced at the meeting. However a loophole does exist as the twins classes are actually GP based (for whatever that is worth). Meaning downsizing and refitting parts of unlimited origin is legal. So use your imagination, but it boils down to how much are you willing to gamble on your bike build being legal and the level of enforcement from within the riders on the grid.Originally Posted by Munch
