Does anyone know which race series the original Fazer 600 would be allowed to compete in? Anyone done it? How much would it cost, etc?
Just scratching a curious itch here. ;)

TO be honest Christo, the only one I'd know of would be the Thundersport Streetfighter Race series - specifically class B
600cc 4s, 675 triples or 750 twins.
Maximum power, 100, and there is a minimum weight, but I can't find it or remember it!
Fazer wouldn't really stand a chance to be honest - it'd be up against a lot of the older CBR600s, gixxer 6s and zx6s (all streetfightered obviously) as well as the ducati 748 series - all of them put out more power than the Fazer, handle a lot better and both are, and can be made a lot lighter.
To be honest mate, if you really want track time, I'd look into selling your project Fazer, and instead building a project CBR600f - probably f3 if possible (depending on when your licensing restriction ends)

Maybe in a few years' time - I want to see this bike to completion, goddammit! :D
Thanks for the info, though. Shame there was never a specific series, like the Hornet had.

Well i suppose in fairness, with a decent slipon, jetting, and some minor port work, you'd likely be looking at mid 90s (at the wheel), so only about 5hp behind the rest (which I suspect could be found, but would be quite expensive).
That, some decent suspension, and some serious weight cutting measures, and you might be able to have a half decent track bike (although probably not race ready!)

That's my NEXT project. ;)

I think I'm only a year or possibly two older than you Christo, but I think we know that even I probably won't live to see that one completed :lol

Best advice....
Stick to towing stuff. :lol

There's an idea. They do caravan racing so why not start your own race series on bikes....

You could always take the Pug banger racing......... :b

It's a 1.5L naturally aspirated diesel. Even I have standards.

A Peugeot banger racing? That's like playing conkers with an egg!

An FZS600 Fazer did pretty well at the IOM a few years back.
