Re another class, 748 a great idea but service & maintenance I reckon would be a lot higher, and not sure where you shop if you can pick one up ok for racing for 2k

to me it doesnt seem broke really, grids are full at most rounds and races close, obviously except A....which is the point I know...

Paul,
I bought a spare new virgin ECU for £250 (will work with any clock and key). Since starting racing in July 2009 the bike has never failed to start and never missed a beat. Even after those 2 crashes at Mallory it still ran.
How many B bikes can claim that?

748 for 2k ? plus 750-1k for suspension, racing kills dry clutches, water cooled
Another 40 bhp on road tyres in the wet.
Cheaper option is an 800 engine and do mini twins.

Limit the number of seasons you can stay in class B so people have to move up.

Hey at the rate your improving I'm glad yer not in class A yet
