Simplistic question, yeah, but seems such an obvious solution. Why wouldn't that work?
It's a good idea but it starts to get a bit technical for your average club to run and enforce because the larger bikes like the CBR500 have an RPM limit as well as a higher minimum weight limit.
So it's a bit more than just having a accurate set of bike scales handy.

Like jkv45 alluded to, motorcycle racing organisations would be crazy if they didn't re -write any rules that stand in the way of the Ninja 400 being eligible. Numbers at the track are falling away enough as it is without creating obstacles for new racers.
