To give an idea of the costs to those thinking of racing in the 2010 Desmo Due Championships

Starting with Last Seasons Bike and already owning a transponder and a Van the Cost of running in Desmo Due for 2009 were

DD Championship Entries including Allcommers, Plus Bike & van Fuel £1,724
Non Championship & test day Entries, plus Bike & van Fuel £561
Pirelli Diablo Tyres, 4 rears & 3 fronts, sold 2 sets of scrubs £490
Other associated costs, such as service items, damage repair, dyno time etc £570


So total for Season was £3345

If I hadn't run on any Saturdays or took part in a couple of test days the running in the DD championship would have cost £2784

I didn't go to Angelsey and used the money saved to put towards upgrading my van (2.5l 6cyl Turbo Diesel H reg LT35 to a 2.8l 4cyl TDi V reg Fiat Ducato) which cost me £1150 on top of what I got for the old van.
The improved savings in fuel consumption has already started paying for the van
