Hi again Phillc, I'm sorry, I do get where you get your figures from and mine will be different as I already have race kit, although had to go through the ACU/NEW ERA Licence stuff and I have been doing a trackday or two-a-month for the last couple of years, so I dont see these as any extra costs to me, only the race entries and bike outlay. The bike has cost just over £2k to buy and put on the track competatively, thats without any engine work or labour costs as all done by me. There will be other consumable costs such as oil, filters, belts, fuel, etc. and I have these in mind. I also have a fair amount of spares amounting to bodywork, footpegs, clip-ons, etc. all came with the bike and I have the seller to thank for that!!! My 620 project bike also has lent some parts to the 583, as have my 900ss ie (brake discs, mudguard, etc.), which will either get replaced or the 583 will gain these for itself as these come along.
