Not sure how it'll play out but our team is going with the EX300 platform. It's really the most feasible. The best balance of investment and being semi-competitive.

Ahh. Gotcha. And I agree with that course of action. Or lack thereof. Hard to fathom the rumors aren't true though.

Maybe not but I guess that depends on your definition of mini. You'd be hard pressed to sell me on the CBR500R being a mini for sure. The EX250 though... Not such a hard sale. Yet they'll be gridded up together. If not in the sprints, in the endurance for sure. I don't agree with running 250s and 500s on the same grid, even in separate waves/classes. Same for the 300s and 500s.

I do want to say though, even though I don't agree with some of the (proposed) rules, I do acknowledge and agree with the club embracing the new generation of machines and trying to find a place for them on the grids. To do so this quickly is also very noteworthy.
