Better the known routes, like Sound of Thunder. |
Couldn't agree more, Kev. The biggest uncertainty, aside from the series even getting of the ground, is the clear objective to make Buells competitive. So, if you build yourself a nice 1000DS based race bike and you blow them away, they'll likely change the rules to make you less competitive. Not to my taste, really.

Not true at all. The rules will remain the same as they are now regardless of whether a Buell wins or not. The point of the rules is to make it an even playing field for lots of different manufacturers rather than turn it into a one make series (as SOT has almost become!). We want to see as many manufacturers as possible out there next year, and have already attracted the attention of Bimota, Buell, Ducati, Vyrus, Guzzi & BMW plus privateers on all sorts including SV's, a Laverda twin and an '80's GSXR. It will certainly be an interesting field
