What is a supersuper twin?
Supertwins are four stroke twin cylinder machines originally sold for road use with a water cooled engine of up to 650cc. A number of changes and modifications are permitted to the frame, swing arm, suspension, exhaust, brakes etc as deemed in the technical regulations.
Is the Supertwin class worth it?
Yes, the Supertwin class was built as somewhat of a ‘budget’ category where people could take commuter bikes and turn them into racers. But times change, and no one can lay blame for bounds being stretched. If you want a one-make series, don’t go Supertwin racing.
Why is everyone talking about new Supertwin bikes?
WINDS of change are blowing in Supertwin paddocks around the country, and everyone’s talking about new machinery that’s arrived to shake up the order this year. New bikes have not only hit the short circuits, but they’ve also taken to the roads as teams push the boundaries of development to chase power, speed and ultimately lap times.
Is Supertwin racing a one-make series?
If you want a one-make series, don’t go Supertwin racing. This is one of the very few classes, if not the only modern class in the UK, nay the world, where production-based machinery can be developed to a nearly-unlimited degree. Are teams to blame if the rules say they can do something and they do it?
