Thanks Nick for your ten pennyworth.......We are indeed lucky to be able to see Road Racing at its best on the worlds most demanding circuit !

When I started coming to the TT there were only three classes the 250, 350 and 500 and they were exciting and, as old photos show, very well attended..

My only recommendation is to have the classes as laid out but could they be run in two legs with a final result taken from agregate finishes..

After all the sidecars have two races !

But what replaces the old 250 and the recent 125/400 ??

We have seen 500/600/700 racing, using ducati M series
and the "bare" honda 600s, suzuki 500/600 and the like..

Could these be raced with "safety" on the TT course, Nick ? They are sold in the EU countries and could be a basic machine on which newcomers could learn and people could identify with them.

I'm serious, after all, the bikes of old did not have such wraparound fairings
