However quick you may be, a really good rider ought to trounce many others if he has:

a 620 ss with a 6 speed gear

that is the best way to go - if you have the money of course.

I thought I had as you are nigh on saying the 674 bikes are on a par with the 583s and a long way from the 620s, if its to be two points tables then 583 in one class and 620/674s in the other

Ah, this is one of the reasons I decided not to join in with Desmo Due (apart from being a lazy git). When the series was first mentioned it sounded like a one make series which would be mainly based on rider ability. Buy a bike, stirp the lights off and race it. The more open the rules became, the less interest I had. And now the arguments are kicking off. I'll leave you guys to it

3 classes then why the hell not..the 583's already have a prize awarded to them for first across the line dont they.?

That's not even the point.

The point is that we were told that a 675 would be a match for a 620 - fact!

Then it's down to rider ability, the point of the series - fact!

When a 620 is pulling 5 or 6 lengths on at fully sorted 675 down a 300 yard straight, it's not rider ability - fact!

Not everyone has the spare cash to buy a 620, so when we were told a 583 with BB would be a match, those with little cash, bought 583's.

When a true novice pulls away from me in a straight line, it's not coz he's better, it's coz he has a machine advantage.

I know some people think I'm full of <b>[Censored]</b> , but give me Geoff's bike and I'd lap as fast as him (not his week though).

So, now that we all know it's not a level playing field, how can you have a problem with seperate points?

It moves you up the table for a start!!!

This aint personal, I just feel like I'm talking to a wall

A faster rider should get past a novice on the bends and on the brakes....

my two team m8 last year both had better bike then me..one had a 15 bhp more then me,i'd still beat him in every race..

There is no such thing us a level playing field in racing..

some people cant buy a 620. some people cant buy good suspention for there 583....even if you had all 620 there will alway be people with better spec bikes..you will never stop it.......I'd thought this was going to be a freinds class..maybe this class should have just been for novices..

weeksy we will get the 620i.
