Because when Hottrax offered a Minitwin Class in 2011 they had one entry for the first round at Brands So they aren't entertaing running MT bikes.

I pursuaded them to let the DD bikes on the same grid as the F400s and the easy way to keep the twins to the DD bike is to stick with our bhp limit.
Including the Twins is about offering another class for DD riders to enter, not about getting MTs out on the grid.

Yes some 400s with every tricked up bit on them may be above 80 bhp but a ZXR400 with a Ram airbox conversion, cams and full system all setup with a jet kit is about 68bhp, and for those of us that entered their DD bikes in the 400 allcomers with New Era often had some fun playing with some of the 400s but the main thing is the extra tracktime that was available.

DD could very easily have been excluded from this class, now we have an option
