I'll apologize ahead of time if I say something that has already been said, I had neither the time nor the patience to read all the posts.
Here's my 2 cents, instead of creating animosity over the situation, can we as the Nesba family perhaps look into pioneering a new rider group specifically for motards?
Team Promo is allowing cars on the track....which i think is the worst idea ever FWIW...but why not work on a Supermoto group for Nesba since it is gaining so much popularity?
Imagine this, Nesba gets to run concurrent track days at Summit Main and Shenendoah, or maybe BeaveRun and the Beav's cart track...or even either NJMP and the NJMP cart track.
Could prove to be both an exciting time for all the riders as well as economical for Nesba since they won't have to lug the trailer out for another event.
I ride both, and although I would never run either on any of the tracks except JC and East anyway, I think something like this would be awesome and really encourage more people to join Nesba.
Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, just had to throw my thoughts in to the pot.

both beaver and njmsp seem supermoto friendly they would give you the track if you get the people. honestly though that a different ave. there are other groups that run supermoto event we should just go to them. supermoto junkies has all you need to know. there a guy there setting up days at njmsp for mini at the monment esrma will get it for us to race next yr. b.r. loves supermoto(money) if they get money(people) they let you run.

I suggested that a few pages back, and the request was declined. But if motards get popular enough, I can see it happening. Maybe it's just a matter of time.
You could look at ESMRA, but that's Supermoto, which involves a dirt section. Some riders don't want to do that, preferring to run their motard on pavement only.
The one supermoto track at Beaverun was tight, anything over a 450 seemed like too much bike, heck even the 250s were almost as fast as the 450s (and it was more a question of the rider, than the bike).
Given the populatrity of the KTMs that are > 600cc, I think it makes sense to have track days that cater to them. :dunno:
I certainly wouldn't let NESBA rules affect my decision whether to get one of these bikes, or not.
I'm not. I'm just trying to have some cheap fun. I find it hard to totally give up the street and have always wanted to learn how to slide around in the dirt. If a 690 and extra set of rims worked on the track, street and dirt roads it could make more sense than having separate track and street bikes.

the 690 ktm smc is part of the restriction.
(but sure is a fun bike to ride!)
You can clearly see how unsafe a motard is on a fast track like HPT. While riding a casual pace in Intermediate, I can barely keep from getting run down by all the supersports, and in the straights I'm taking up at least 24" of the right side of a 30ft wide track! I give that traffic was light that day, but any competent rider should have no problem getting around a slower bike in the straights. It is a trackday, a time to enhance and hone your riding skills, not a race.
"Power without Precision is Pointless" the NESBA motto contradicts the motard ban.
NESBA says the motard ban is because of unsafe closing speeds, yet slower bikes are not banned, I say there's more to it than that!

Video was taking last year in I group, Rider videoing was on a GSXR 750 and was bumped to Advanced a few NESBA trackdays later!

maybe he doesnt know WHAT there is to it since it was all done conspiracy-style behind closed doors 
, but there must be SOMETHING besides closing speeds as reasoning or else all slow bikes would be banned. I just got here and don't really have an idea of what it takes to run an org as well as this one is, but he's sorta got a point and I think its this: If you dont want motos, just say no motos. Dont cite weak logic for a reason.
I have a feeling I'll regret opening my mouth on this.......I ride a Monster
