Over the years there have been many road racing classes, And our motorcycle clubs are now involved in politics internally and extrernally. For somebody who wanrs ro road race, there is no easy entry for beginners. I suggest a good way forward might be to have development classes for air-cooled twin and single cylinder four-stroke motorcycles, and run them in capacity classes.

My comment about the 850 Commando motor was serious. In Australia, very few people ever raced bevel Ducatis. There was a one-make class for 883 Harley Sportsters which lased about a minute. Life is about having fun.
Many times i have mentioned what happened the last time I raced, I rode my Seeley 850, under and past the three leaders who were on methanol- fuelled 1100cc CB750 Hondas. It is not the same as out-riding a good guy on a bevel Ducati.
I suggest Commando motors still have potential. A bottom end is easier to manufacture than a top end. Four valves per cylinder in an aircooled motor are not much quicker than two
