June 19, 201115 yr I'm really enjoying this season's GP and BSB series but after a bit of a break from watching road racing, things have changed since back in the day when it was either a proddie or a 500. Can anyone please explain - what is an Evo? also are moto2 bikes, cbr600's in different frames? is there any difference in the WSB and BSB bikes? is/are superstock, standard 600's? what do they ride in the IOM Senior? and what do they ride in Supersport? cheers all Caddabs
June 28, 201115 yr An Evo bike is a step up from a Superstocker and not quite a superbike. Moto2 bikes all run sealed Honda CBR600 engines in prototype chassis. WSB abd BSB aren't exactly the same but close enough. Not the same rules regarding the engines as far as i'm aware. IOM TT Senior race is open to anything really. as long as it qualifies. We had a Paton 500 2stroke the other year a Moto2 bike last year and Norton are hoping the be back next year with something on 2 wheels. Pretty much everyone will run what they rode in the Superbike TT the week before but you can also race your superstock (as long as you qualify). A Superstock bike is basically a proddy 1000cc but now, certainly at the TT you are allowed quickshifters. You are also allowed to change the fairing to a race prepped one and swap the fork internals but the outers must be stock. Supersport is 600cc (or 675 if you are Triumph).
