And you know what Mark, it even looks stupid....chassis is too short and I bet it handles like a bucking bronco.

It's not far off standard, the GP3's where fairly tall. Shock position is standard, forks are aftermarket, but standard they came with leading axle Betors/Marzochii's.

Dunno why it wouldn't be considered kosher. It's all period. And it's a GP3 a bike so breathtakingly beautiful it should be allowed to race in whatever class the owner wishes  8)
