[Freakshow]

Can some one please explain to me in a few words the diffewrance between pre 85 and evolution ?

Just  i though they were the same thing

Evo = air cooled drum brake non linkage suspension.
Pre "85 doesn't

  x100. I knew SA was different, but I didn't realise that it was that different...

If you think of Evo as being basically a pre-81 class, then you'll be pretty close.

So Why do we have it then ? surely its like a twin shock/ mono pre 78" class ?

So is pre 85 Water cooled, linkage and disk brake ?

[micks]

pre 85 is a period racing and evolution is a formula racing.

OOh thats not much of a differance......

We've been down this road before... look back through the forum before it goes 20 pages of crap

this is where you pick-up a copy of the MOM's and have a read first, once done, you may retire any notion you may of had that they are anywhere near the same, even if standing on ones head and reading them upside down, rewriting them in japanese wont help either. have a great day Freaky

freaky
how many evo bikes are water cooled             answer none
how many pre 85 bikes are water cooled         answer heaps starting with those h 125 yamahas 1981
as said before evo is not a year class but a formula class and pre 85 is all bike up to 1984 including evo bike that fit the year cut off.

So why not piss off the evo class then and let them all run pre 85 ?  frees up the program right :O)

Freaky do you ride the Evo class? Why not piss off to the next subject and leave a good thing alone.

cause some people actually like Evo bikes and that's why they are looking at spliting the Classic Nationals in a few years time..

More comedy gold!

Tell you what - why not piss off all VMX classes, and just run with the moderns - now that would free the programme right up!

Are that makes sence then....  From the outside it does seems like its a place to split it as they are prity close.  

We only have pre 85 classes down here Johnny O but someone asked about evo.. i said IHNFI , i guessed if there build before pre 85 then whats the problem , thats where we have always riden then and dont have the number to split em up at club days, so couldnt see the point ?

Maybe if it was over subscribed or possible a NAts - but surely when you get down to tacks its still pre 85.   i just stupidly assumed back in the day if i had an 82 water cooled and you had a 81 air cooled we would have road in the same race.
So im assuming this is just a class thats was made.
