EVERYTHING THAT IS NOT AUTHORISED AND PRESCRIBED IN THIS RULE IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN
All UB150 motorcycles requires the homologation FIM Asia ARRC Technical Committee. All
Motorcycles must be normally aspirated. All motorcycles must comply in every respect with all
the requirements for road racing as specified in these Technical Specifications (Regulations),
unless they are already equipped as such on the homologated model.
Once a Motorcycle has obtained the homologation, it may be used for racing in the corresponding class
for a maximum period of 8 years or until such time that the homologated motorcycle is disqualified by
new rules or changes in the technical specifications of the corresponding class.
The appearance from the front, rear and the profile of UB150 Motorcycles must (except when otherwise
stated) conform to the homologated or originally manufactured shape (as originally produced by the
manufacturer). The appearance of the exhaust system is excluded from this rule.
These rules are intended for production road Motorcycles only. Production street
enduro / motocross based off-road Motorcycles are specifically excluded. The FIM Asia
ARRC Technical Committee has the right to decide which motorcycles will be eligible in
