Bump! Updated again! Forgot to cap Motard displacement in 300 and 500cc classes.

So no classes whatsoever for what are current F5-F7 bikes? Kids need to jump from jr. motard to Ninja 250 I guess? Just asking, not saying right or wrong.

I didn't get the information so much as asking a clarifying question. I see there are 4 classes listed for the 2014 version of the mini-endurance series and the lowest one is F4. I wasn't sure if the "more to come" meant more classes for mini endurance, or the description of the other races (i.e. BBE, sprints). So maybe the F5-F7 bikes will just do sprints? I'm just asking, trying to understand the revisions. Thanks!

David,

We had 1 F6 team enter two of the 5 Mini Endurance rounds so far this season. With that in mind we decided it was time for a change in the Mini Endurance format.

To answer your question, Yes F5, 6, and 7 will be sprint classes only for 2014.

any room for bigger 2-Ss in the new superstock classes?

Thanks Walter. That's what I figured. I hadn't kept up with it this year, but I know that when we ran F7 in mini endurance last year, we were typically the only entrant in F7 and there would only be 1-3 bikes collectively in F5-F7. I am sad that they're going away, but completely understand the business decision. Thanks for clarifying.

I second this question. The 125 aprilia smoker is expressly allowed but there is no outline for what else might be allowed. I prefer to be on machinery able to battle for the over all an our RS92 (92cc yamaha smoker) just isn't going to match a 500.

maybe an MX based 125 in MX chassis for the 250 superstock... mx based 125 in GP chassis in the 300 superstock... mx based 250 in MX chassis the 500 superstock...

throw us lovers of real motorcycles a bone...

The 125 Aprilia is allowed because it is a street bike. Remember these are Superstock classes. If you want to compete for the overall then the answer is obvious.
