BMCRC announces the Senior 300 Series for 2014. On the back of the reliability and success of the Kawasaki Ninja 300 used in the youth series, the National Junior Cup, the Club is to run a Senior Series on these bikes in 2014.
Aimed at older riders who are looking for the easy life when it comes to bike maintenance, these 300’s are all you could wish for – the engines and ECU’s are sealed, all you do is add fuel and change the oil occasionally!
The Kawasaki Ninja 300 is the latest iteration of a small twin cylinder from Kawasaki and it has a race-proven heritage. Its predecessor, the Ninja 250R has run throughout 2012/3 in the National Junior Cup Series without a single engine failure. So the Series is based on bikes that no longer have to have regular engine refresh or retune throughout the season.
It’s a 4-Stroke. That’s going to make a huge difference to riders and teams in running costs. Dyno tests have this bike delivering around 34 bhp with a smooth power delivery right through the rev range.
The deal includes supply of the bike direct from Bournemouth Kawasaki. Selected by Kawasaki UK as being ideal to help as they are experienced in assisting or running race teams. The bike will be fully race prepared and ready to go, all the standard requirements, sump and filter lockwired, race fairings fitted, rearsets added, race exhaust and suspension* installed…everything! (*Race Suspension is an option on the 300)
The engine will also be “sealed” at the dealership. You own the bike once purchased.
The Senior 300 Series will allow any ACU Licence holder….Novice, Clubman or National, in order to open this up to as wider group as possible. You would need to be 19 or older as of Jan 1
st 2014.
Spares will be available at each Series meeting for you to fit yourself as required, Kawasaki have supported the Series by offering spares at cost prices.
Tyres are supplied for the series via Pirelli and will be available in the BMCRC paddock on a supply and fit basis. Usage in the 2012-3 NJC Series has seen fronts last 2-3 meetings with a rear per event. Only Pirelli tyres designated for the series from the authorised paddock suppliers or your dealer are permitted.
At Club level the BMCRC has built a reputation for careful and fair policing of all the classes run at its meetings. The Club has the largest Technical Officials Department of any in the UK Club scene, including three who are graded at FIM level. The Club owns and runs its own mobile Dyno unit with highly experienced operators, this will be used to check bikes, assist with set-up and police the series throughout the season.
Series policing, coupled with the support of the manufacturer, sealed engines, controlled supply of parts and spares in the paddock will ensure that all the bikes are spec’d to the same level. Hence no team can enhance the performance of any machine illegally without detection. This is all about controlling costs for riders.
Bemsee will run the Senior Series alongside the NJC, where spare grid capacity will allow. This will mean that the Senior Series will be able to run a full season at all Bemsee rounds.
The bike in full race trim will be at the Kawasaki stand 3D30 at the NEC Motorcycle Show 23 Nov-1 Dec and at the Bemsee Open Day at Brands Hatch on Sunday 8
th December.
