R1's in SBW?

I don't think I have ever seen any R1's in SBW. Why is that?

because there's a limit on cilinder capacity? 2 cilinders -> max 1000cc (ducati 996, honda sp-1/sp-2) 4 cilinders -> max 750cc (yamaha r7, kawa, suzuki) i guess a four-in-line configuration has an advantage over 2 cilinders... -zen

Do you mean WSBK? If so, heres the bikes allowed in WSBK: Superbike Over 600 cc up to 750 cc 4 stroke 4 cylinders Over 600 cc up to 900 cc 4 stroke 3 cylinders Over 750 cc up to 1000cc 4 stroke 2 cylinders Supersport Over 400 cc up to 600 cc 4 stroke 4 cylinders Over 600 cc up to 750 cc 4 stroke 2 cylinders Rumors say they will let 1000cc/4cyl in by 2003. If you want to see the R1 in competition you have to check out the Superstock European Championship. Sorry to say that the GSXR1000 has taken most of the victorys there. :cryin Don´t know about the AMA Superbike regulations, anyone know if R1:s is allowed there?

1000 cc four-cylinder bikes will be allowed in British Superbike this year, probably in Sweden as well. Performance Bikes magazine is doing a feature on a GSX-R1000 sooperbike. Read it!

AMA in the US allows R1s in the Formula Extreme class. John Hopkins won the class in 2001 on a GSXR1000 by one point over Damon Buckmaster on an R1.... :cool:

John Hopkins will ride a Red Bull Yamaha YZR500 in GP´s this year. Two-strokes RULE!

R1's can also compete in the Australian Shell Advanced Superbike title and Formula Extreme Tri State title.
