For YZF-R3's ONLY, a five-round race series will start in March 2016, IF there is enough interest from riders.
They're also planning on offering a Race Kit for R3s at a very competitive price. The kit includes:
Racing fibreglass bodywork set – uses OEM screen, includes bellypan oil catch tray and plugs
Foot peg repositioning kit – allows nine positions for footpegs back and up from standard
Range of rear sprockets - optional sizes to be provided to allow tuning for each circuit
Racing exhaust system - Increased power while still conforming to applicable noise standards, lighter and provides better ground clearance.
Pollution system removal plates
Kit to reposition handlebars lower - Provides for a more crouched racing riding position in combination with the foot peg repositioning
Crash protection - crash knobs, swing arm bobbins (stand pickups) engine case protection kit
Fork and shock springs

They're looking for interested rider's input in developing the series....In their words: "PLEASE NOTE: YRD requires your input if this concept is to become a reality. If you are interested in competing in this series, don’t delay… contact YRD NOW. The series is in your hands. No response will mean no race series! "
