So when will MIST suzuki be testing in the UK ? Gonna give it a while and then start after Christmas?I know that some of the riders in the one make T675 series will be out with their bikes at Brands on saturday(25th Nov).

We have to wait until the new GSXR1000K7s are available.

Fingers crossed that Suzuki will let us have them early.

fingers crossed here too..although it was good to see that the response to what the team is doing next season was alot more positive from Suzuki this time! :lol:

Went to Brands this afternoon (hottrax trackday) and there were quite a few bikes I recognised from club races out testing as well...and one or two blokes from the Triumph 675 series out testing as well.

Just as an observation though, yes it was wet and it was cold (I was in the car because I had all my camera kit with me :oops: ) but so many blokes went down today! I've never seen so many offs at a trackday before :?

Mike1234 - best of luck for the new season! Seriously, if you need a helping hand come brands hatch time (i will be there!) then I can chip in for free :D

Superstocks where brilliant to watch last year, fairing bashing action all the way so stock up on those parts eh :wink:

Matt

Agreed :!:

And hopefully you guys will get those bikes soon so testing can begin! After speaking to some of the racers down at the track yesterday I can only imagine how much work you still need to do before you are race ready...
Good Luck :wink:

Likewise, Mike1234, I hope your new season has you flying to the top of the podium on your GSXR.

I've been watching the forum and checking in periodically with BSB, since I met and rode with one of your BSB riders last year at Laguna Seca, and at Infineon Sears Point, CA for four days of training at California Superbike School. Fellow by the name of Leon Camier; Great young guy, very friendly and a super rider. Whatever it is that makes him go, I'd like some, thank you very much!!!

I've been racing an SV650 Superbike at my local track here in Vancouver, Canada for the past number of years. We have Suzuki sponsor an SV Cup Series that is scored separately from the Battle of the Twins Series, (unlimited twins), which we are lumped into, along with the Super Motards, NSR 250's and 125's. On a slow day or when the race schedule is too mucked up with delays, they also throw the vintage bikes into the fray. Tons of fun; Great experience.

I also race the F2 series, which is Honda F2 and F3 to '98, and any inline four over 10 years old, unlimited singles, Twins to 750cc, 2 stroke racers to 500cc.

I've taken my bike across the Rockies to Edmonton, and Calgary, in Alberta. As well down the coast to Seattle, Spokane, Portland, Thunderhill, Infineon Sears Point, Laguna Seca, and Streets of Willow, Las Vegas, and Firebird Park in Phoenix.

It's always interesting that no matter what they call the class for the SV to race in, the bikes racing tend to be the same. Best regards, and keep the shiny side facing up everyone.

BTW: here is a quick clip of my local club track, Short and Technical, but it can be fun. :D Hope you fellow SV'rs enjoy.

Glad to have found you, and best regards,

Any luck with the bikes yet?

Nothing to report just yet. Have sent off rider contracts and should hear back early next week about entries. Could only enter two riders as the sponsors we are talking to haven't committed yet. Once we know our budgets we will try to get additional entries but there are no guarantees.

Still waiting to find out when we'll get the new GSXR1000K7. The GSXR600K7 is available already. Got some nice new rear shocks to try. Supposed to be really good but at a grand a shot they ought to be!

Have reworked the web site and added some more photos. Got loads more to add when I get some time. See www.mistsuzuki.com for details.

Our sponsor for 2006, www.givemethekeys.com, is running a competition to give away a MiniTwins race bikes and spare wheels plus entries and tyres for a season of racing. It's only 20 quid to enter and over 16 quid of that goes straight to the race team. The rest goes to the VAT man and the credit card processing company.
