Welcome hawk. Hope you enjoy the club
While you're at the virtual bar I'll have a large latte.
Now, plenty of race experience .... national level ... hrmmm, what you need is a nice 583cc monster, preferably something around a 94 model with about 100,000 miles on the clock with the big end about to go and just leave it standard, you'll be fine
Give us a chance mate!!!
IMO the best bike for the series would be a 620 monster with a 6 speed box and twin disks. Then you can do what you want with it from there (clip-ons, bodywork etc ...).
Hope that helps.
