If you don't know the rules don't compete

I asked Steve Wheatman, owner of The Classic Suzuki Racing team what was the whingeing over rules all about.‎ It turns out that original top capacity was 750cc. Overbores have gradually seen capacities creep up. It reached a point where motors were overstressed, unreliable and expensive to maintain. Thus it was requested that 1100cc motors be allowed in. In Dunlop's bikes case it was possible to squeak in under the age barrier an early GSXR 1100 motor to howls of dismay from all those that had used Bandit lumps. By the way this bike has 150 bhp, standard motor has 130 bhp, and weighs 140 kilos.
