So bikes from the 90's are now vintage....
Those bikes are almost new for me!
Time is too quick.

well, a 95' superbike is now 25 years old, so that counts as "historic interest vehicle" in most countries.... but also means that WE are turning vintage too

Old men on newer bikes is vintage racing too then

there should certainly be a place for 90s bikes . in an effort to attract more riders the organising bodies have created more and more classes .  i think if they had 3 or 4 classes per decade it might make things more sustainable . in america there seems to be more classes than riders !

Yes Simon, in NA managing classes is always the topic of discussion. The VRRA is introducing Period 5 this year with two classes. Meanwhile there is a large effort to get any & all older bikes out to prop up Period 1 & 2. There are other assn's here where these newer bikes can race but the VRRA needs the bikes/bodies to pay the bills. Because we race at the best tracks, everyone want to be a part of that. It won't be long before Period 1 bites the dust or else they all run together in a mixed class. Kind of a shame.

I know this has been discussed to death before and doesn't belong here.

from my experience people want a class built for their bike rather than build a bike for a class . there are far to many classes there brent , the one for bikes made between 83 and 84 mage me laugh !

I agree Simon. Once we get into 80's machinery, more complaining erupted.  If there was a model that was short lived & quickly eclipsed, then look for something else. I can race mine in five classes and potentially win or certainly place well. It gets tiring, maybe I need to move on!
