Low cost and racing don't belong in the same sentence.
Still we're talking about a GP bike not a production bike.
Like Moto 2... it's about the engines.
Ask Gerry Piazza, pretty sure he's raced a custom frame in the AFM.
Ask Gerry Piazza, pretty sure he's raced a custom frame in the AFM. Basically, they look to see if it looks nice and it's not held together with duct tape and bailing wire. Honestly, based on my experience I'm not even sure tech would notice unless you mentioned it to them.
I know I had a bit too much red wine last night but this feels a lot like a dig on AFM tech.
AMA won't make a new class because they can't field large grids for 600 and liter bikes.
A limited cost racing class.
A class for the builders and experimenters.
A class where the supply of engines is plentiful.
A class where the bikes are light and handle great.
I would not bet my money on that. Harley is out after next season.
But... here's the tie in to the AMA pro singles class... the AMA races the 450 pro singles on the mile. The dirt miles are an environment that's harder on the engines than the paved road race straight-a-ways. There's total symbiosis between the two. An absolute synergy.
Personally, I think it would be great if they had a 650Twins class, but I can't see that happening either.
maybe they make honda 500 spec class![]()
