BIKE SIDE-CLASSIC-ENDURANCE

Since 2008 we drive at the FIM-EUROPEAN CLASSIC SERIES.
These long-distance races for classic bikes are among the toughest in the scene.
Our bike: KAWASAKI ZXR750RR

BIKE SIDE CLASSIC RACING Season 2024

From May 17th - 19th the first 4h race of the season took place at the Circuit Paul Ricard in Le Castellet as part of the SUNDAY RIDE CLASSSIC.
We, the BIKE SIDE CLASSIC ENDURANCE team, competed for the first time with our new KAWASAKI ZXR750 in the FORMULA class (750cc up to 1993). The bike was completely rebuilt in 2023/2024.

The three riders were Matthias von Rüden, Sönke Gürtler and Klaus Dony. The mechanics team consisted of Remus Haas, Meik Faber, Rico Renschler and Gregory Leblanc.

We used the free practice session on Friday morning to get used to the bike and find an initial set-up.
In the afternoon we rode Q1 and Q2. We had mounted CONTI RACE ATTACK 2 in MEDIUM at the front and rear.

Unfortunately, the times were not quite to our liking, so we started the race in P44 out of 60 teams.

The start was at 8pm. We were able to drive the entire 4 hours without any problems. Refueling, driver change every 45 minutes and on we went!
We were able to move up place by place.
At midnight we crossed the finish line in P23 overall and P6 in the FORMULA class.

The next dates in 2024:

• July 12-13 CSBK in Assen
• September 12-14 4H-BOL D`OR-CLASSIC in Le Castellet
