They are building two versions, the street version and the "R" version. As I read the SCTA rules, the race bike would have to run in A class as that is for race bikes, specials, non-street legal, etc. The street version should be able to run in 1000 P-PB, and in modified, assuming Kawasaki plans to build 500+ bikes. This shouldn't be an issue with AMA as they just let Motus run and get a record. If you want one, you have to place an order with your dealer by 12/19 and put a deposit down. It sounds like they are going to build versus orders. The street version is $25,000 and has roughly 200hp and the race version is $50,000 and has an estimated 300hp. I did read that you cannot order any "R" parts unless you can prove ownership of an "R". Guess that will open up things for the aftermarket. I did read that the street version will offer extended warranties for up to four race seasons, I mean four years.... I can see the warranty guy looking at my claim - sir we see you had the motor running at 14,000 rpm for 90 seconds, where were you? Hope the ECU doesn't have GPS. So I guess the answer is yes you can buy the cheaper one and race on the open record in production. The race bike would run on APS-BG at 230, APS-BF at 251, A-BG at 192 and A-BF at 226, so other than the 192 mph record, none will easy.
