Norton rotary for superbike TT??
Michael Dunlop wants to ride the Norton rotary in the Superbike TT. Would this be possible under the regulations?

"At the moment I'm only due to ride the bike in the Senior race at the Isle of Man TT so we'll have to try and talk to Paul Phillips about riding the Norton in the Superbike race as well because there's not much point in going there just to have one crack at it."

This is where the newer regs dont help the variety and interest
I know that Superbike rules are supposed to be the standard but is there a homologation way in perhaps?
Or am I being naive?
I think most people would like to see as much of the Norton as possible

The MCUI have modified the rules here so as to allow the Norton to compete at the NW200 and the Ulster GP.

However I'm not aware of an entry from them yet ? I suspect that soon enough there will be...................big sellerWink
