Motorcycling Australia today announced the approval of a new category of off-road machines for junior competitors.
The Board of the national governing body approved the new 4-stroke 150cc machines to compete in various off-road competitions.
The decision to approve the category is in line with a similar move by F̬d̬ration Internationale de Motocyclisme [FIM], the international controlling body for motorcycle sport.
The new 150cc machines will be eligible to race from mid-October 2006.
Details of the revised competition rules are currently in development, and should be released with 14 days.
