Road legal tyres that have to last for the whole day, so that the rich boys aren't banging on a fresh set of Rennsports for qualifying and each race. Maybe even control tyres like the CB500 boys and R6 cup. 207RR's, Diablo Corsas, even Metzler MEZ4's as long as everyones even stevens. [/quote]

Control tyres are a great idea....how about cheng shins..they used to enable me to crack on a bit on my MBX 50...

from what i can remember they have to be road legal tyres but wets are allowed too. could be wrong.

I'm with Timothy; I was getting quite excited reading this.... until the talk of spending tons of wedge on the bikes to get in front.

It's a great idea tho, hope it takes off.

Boys, please calm down this is only a commercial.

No one should be able to get over 70bhp out of one of these under the proposed rules and the costs involved in doing that will be containable. Yes we are allowing overboring, but in part that is to allow old carb bikes to keep up with 620 injected ones.

From the earlier comments, it would appear that one can do a lot of damage to more powerfull bikes, with just a standard one, remember that we have not restricted leverage on the bars, ground clearance or the things that help on the twisty bits. I dont think that anyone is going to go through a set of tyres in a day and they are restricted as to what type of tyre they can run.

Ears have pricked up, and i'm listening. Don't bother me being at the back of the grid, as long as my riding improves.

2 me, the basic the bike can be the better, like the R6 cup as an example already used above.

Well .. I can't afford to spend loads of money on it but I'm going to do it anyway. Come on you lot, it won't get off the ground if it's not supported.

I plan on getting some ground clearance for it and after that I'm not sure really. Clipons and rearsets maybe, to change the riding position?

[Rattler]

What tracks is it likely to be run on?

yes but thats not at 620 is it.

all the rules are already set out so you may as well wait for tomorrow to read them. sounds like there is good interest already though.

I know mate , I just meant that if too many mods were allowed then the bike would end up costing more than a 900SS which doesn't need the mods, so the whole point of using the 600's would be wasted.

As you say, lets see the rules first.

[Nattyboy]

nice that tis' provoking such a discussion mate well pleased with the route the DSC has taken for this.

Bloody well done to the MT and comittee for having the balls to carry this one forward. [/quote]

..Just wanted to echo Weeksys sentiments really....

Ive not been a member half as long as you lot, but its nice to see, that despite the clubs obvious success, the MT dont get complacent and are thinking of ways to re-energise the club..

A very innovative idea is this...fair play to you guys...

Cheers

I could be interested in this too. But all I'd do is buy a bog standard bike and race the fekker. None of this tarting up business, maybe some rearsets for a bit of clearance but that's it.
