Welcome to the Thunderbike UK website.

2012 is upon us and only a few short weeks until we all line up at Brands hatch (see listing below).

New for this year is the addition of a whole extra class Thunderbike Extreme.

The Thunderbike classes are :

Supermono - single cyclinder machines

Light weight : machines upto 75 bhp max.

Sport : machines upto 105 bhp max

Extreme : machines producing upto 130 bhp max.

Have a look at the list in the rules section and see which class your bike fits (there is a guide to bikes listed by name /model too for ease).

Now work out your horsepower and the bikes overall weight (with fuel). To work out the weight borrow the bathroom scales (dont tell the wife/girlfriend/boyfriend) and weigh each end of the bike. Add the 2 weights together. Accurate enough for a start. BHP needs a run on a Dyno but a call to the technical department (see contacts) will give you a good rough idea, they have seen loads of bikes dyno tested before.

2006 saw the introduction of the exciting Thunderbike series to the UK.

Run at the BEMSEE meetings it has proved to be extremely popular amongst competitors and spectators alike. Based on the successful Formula USA Thunderbike rules, this class sees Buells and other air cooled 2 valve twins such as Guzzis, Ducati 900ss etc competing with the likes of the suzuki SV650 and 4 cylinder bikes on a level playing field, and creating very close and exciting racing.

The class has specific displacement rules for different engine configurations, as well as a power/weight ratio restriction of 1bhp:4lbs. This means that if you want to campaign a 100bhp bike then it would have to weigh 400lbs. This keeps the class affordable for everyone and means that a 72bhp SV650 will be competitive with a 100bhp Ducati 748R.
