Richard Cooper faces a difficult tas෴k to add to his North West 200 tally due to amended rule💯s.

Cooper is aiming for a sixth win at the road racing event which will be h💛eld May 7-10.

He prepared by winningꦐ a four-timer at the Ulster Superbike Championship opener this weekend.

But he is wary of&💃nbsp; classes at the No🎃rth West 200.

Supersport will now use a British Superbike ꩲChampionship part🥂s list.

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

“The R6 is becoming 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 v👍ery 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 workꦚing hard, as all the t🌳eams do, but I’m pretty confident with the experience I have of the two teams 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 ca🌊n roll out onto that Coast road in practice and be ready to go.”

Cooper will be representing th  BPE by Russell Racing Yama෴ha team in the Supersport class.

“Th♉e Russell Racing Yamaha R6 is built around me,”🍸 he praised.

He will ride a Kawasaki in the Supertwin.
