In that case, as I have said from the start of these threads, why not make it a series for bog standard carby 600's. Full stop.
SS or Monster, it wouldn't matter, but what you would do by doing that is.
1) Remove the possibility of people simply being able to flash the cheque book and spend twice as much on the bike to get the extra ponies of a newer 620ie
2) Remove the need for carby 583 owners to spend shed loads on big bore kits
3) Get the base cost of the bike as low as possible and just about even stevens for everyone
4) Remove the ambiguity and make the race preparation down to lockwire and catch tanks
After that, if it was real cheap racing you're after, make everyone run on one set of standard road tyres per meeting (wet or dry), and make those road tyres something like Bridgestone 020's so that they last half a season (and so that richer folks gain no advantage by being able to run the stickiest gumball Metzlers and a set of wets)
