Richa🍸rd Cooper faces a difficult task to add to his North West 200 tally due to amended rules.

Co♎oper is aiming for a sixth win at the road racing event which will be held May 7-10.

He prepared by winning a four-timer at the Ulster Superb𓂃ike Championship opener this weekend.

ꦫBut he is wary of  classes at the North 🌄West 200.

Supersport will now use a British Superbike Ch♒ampionship parts list.

Cooper told the : “We come to win races, however the rules have changed quite dramatically over the past year or so with the Supersport and next generation bikes that are allowed into the🌺 class.

“The R6 is bౠecoming dated and we have to do the best we can with what we’ve got – same in the Supertwin class now, the ﷽rules have changed again.

“I’m very happy with the machines we🌌 have, albeit we’re on the 🌌older machines in the class now.

“We’re going to have to pull something out of the bag and the teams are working hard, as all the teams do, but I’m pretty confident with the experience I have of the two ꦰteams and the continuity that I carry on with these guys; if you listen to some of the guys 🔯they’re on new packages with new teams and they’ve got to gel with those packages.

“I know that we can roll out ont♉o that Coast road 📖in practice and be ready to go.”

Cooper will be representing th  BPE by Russell Ra♓cꦓing Yamaha team in the Supersport class.

“The Russell Racing Yamaha R6 is buiꦇlt around me,” he praised.

He will ride a Kawasaki in the Supertwin.
