I enjoy the 250 and 400 inline 4s just as much as anyone. However, they would now get stomped even by the R3s and 400s. Top end sure the 250/400s would be quick, but getting there, they would get left in the dust. 30 year old tech sadly, is infact 30 years old.I think the old CBR250RR from early 90's are rated at 45hp. That would be perfect for this class!!

The vast majority of RZ's were sold stock from the factory with more than 50HPAn RZ350 never had 50hp unless you ran it on nitrous, I doubt an EX500 either. Maybe an FZR400 on a good day.
RZ350 from the factory spec sheet - 52 crankshaft HP, 30 ft/lb torque.The vast majority of RZ's were sold stock from the factory with more than 50HP
RD350TYPE You have to go back to a RD-LC to get a Canadian RD with less than 50HP.
70HP in stock cases/barrels is fairly simple. 100HP is doable
IIRC the EX500 was 57 HP stock, 70HP is simple, 75HP makes a hand grenade
oh ohhh
The TR3 or TZ350 would get absolutely smoked by a modern lwt.... but then any advantage a RZ or EX has in motor, they give back in handling.
A RZ or EX is a limp noodle compared to a R3 or Ninja400
I want a crack at this class with a Yamaha TR3 or TZ350
I don't know BUT the national mini series that Toni Sharpless is involved with has CMA sanction.Does this have anything to do with the CMA relative to the MCC?
To put it into perspective to everyone wanting to run vintage bikes.
Mike McNeil did a 1.36 on a CB900 built to likely an 1100
Jared Walker did a 1.34 on a ninja 400

That info predates my experiences so thanks for it.... Brian Henderson did a 1:33 on a RD-LC and 1:31 on a TZ350... this TZ

... the vintage lap record for "middle weight production" (production bike, 1976 or older) is 1:37
... and I own a (1973 350cc) TR3 that was clocked at 154 MPH
...Josh Hayes was a second and a bit short of the outright track record at Philip Island on a "1982 vintage" bike (there was nothing made in 1982 on that bike).
... you know... further perspective
The bike that holds the Vintage Production lap record at mosport is a very not production cb550 that Waller has.... Brian Henderson did a 1:33 on a RD-LC and 1:31 on a TZ350... this TZ
