| As much as I'd love to see an even playing field I have a feeling the horse has definitely bolted! Geoff's obviously in another league (especially at Cadwell) and I agree that he'd have stood a good chance of winning without the BB, but I'm sure Dave, Mike and Clint would've been a fair bit closer.
As it stands I can't see anyone going to Geoff to ask him to take the BB kit off his bike, the dealership entries probably have the cash/free labour to make it happen, and there may be a couple of 'privateers' willing to stump up the cash as well, so I reckon there'll be a good 5-6 680ie bikes out there in the next couple of rounds.
As for the standard 620ie vs 675 debate, there's no doubt the 620s are slightly quicker, but it's an amount that I'm sure the likes of Fil, Antony, me, etc can live with. I'd love to get a bit more out of my engine, but do I really want to blow £1k just to beat 1 or 2 people?
