I like the unofficial addition of the "thunderbike" class!!! And the attempt at parity for the bikes that will be eligible. After speaking with Tony and Scott at the meeting, then thinking over things on the drive home, I looked up some specs for bikes that are being considered or not for the class.
Triumph 675 Power:
126.05 HP (92.0 kW)) @ 12600 RPM
Dry weight: 162.0 kg (
357.1 pounds)
Weight incl. oil, gas, etc: 184.0 kg (405.7 pounds)
Power/weight ratio:
0.7781 HP/kg
Ducati 848 Power:
134.00 HP (97.8 kW)) @ 10000 RPM
Dry weight: 168.0 kg (
370.4 pounds)
Power/weight ratio:
0.7976 HP/kg
Aprilia RSV Mille Power:
130.00 HP (94.9 kW)) @ 9500 RPM
(01-03) Dry weight: 187.0 kg (
412.3 pounds)
Power/weight ratio:
0.6952 HP/kg
Aprilia RSVR Power:

All specs from
www.bikez.com using the newest available model. Power/weight numbers show a little different line up than talked about at the meeting. Just throwing out some numbers. Thanks for taking the steps to add this class guys.
