It’s more than just the motor...an equal rider will go faster on a 400 than a 500, similar builds...
The R3 and 500 can be pretty close in lap times. The 500 has more top end, but the r3 handles better.

Then 2 races each seems like a pretty good compromise.
2, 2, & 2.
so I know for fact the 400 in race trim vs. my 500, c 1/4 tank of fuel, 500 has 42lbs on the 400. can we open the 500 to true 500cc? They aren't that slow but u have to ride pee pee out of them. I can get around pretty good on one, but I suspect I could go faster on 400....anyone have one for me to perform a test :biggrioops sorry...looked back at notes...its 47#...how could I have forgotten that number?

Just a thought, if we do 2,2,2 that means the 400s and 500s are effectively out of the points race for the ultwt #1 plate..best 3 races count, That means, if we do 2,2,2 then the R3/Ktm390 is the only bikes to have a shot at the new #! plate chase...is that what you guys want?
Truth bomb!

not every rider will think any thing is fair unless it favors them...I did NOT tell Kawasaki to build a ninja 400....CMRA hasnt even turned a wheel on the "current system" so i cant say what or who it favors.....if there was a way possible it would be 3,3,3 but there is no way to schedule it.....Personally im ok with doing away with the number 1 and going for class championships so everyone will think its "fair"
Please read the new class structure again. Each of the Ultralightweight bike will have at least 3 classes they can enter for the #1 plate.
250 - E Superstock, E Superbike, 300 Superstock
300 - 300 Superstoke, 300 superbike, 500 superstock
400/500 - 500 Superstock, 500 Superbike, ULWGP
Still favors the kawasaki 400. The 300 will have to race up a class and will not be competitive in the 3rd class. A superbike R3 will not be competitive against same rider on a stock 400. And a superbike R3 will not be legal for 300 superstock.
The number#1 plate will be a 400.
