Sounds interesting as most of my racing is more about having fun these days I could well be interested once I find out more info.
I did consider entering Mini twins last year on a 620SS but the rule book made it impossible to compete with a SV650.

So will be interested in the rules regarding machine mods as I like to tinker and put my years of experience to use.

Also I could probably enter a 620SS in the North Glos Mini twins championship, probably not going to beat the SVs but hey they race at Donington, Thruxton, Silverstone, Pembrey, Darley Moor and maybe a few more next year.

Cool...I would love to have a crack at this. What with all the expense I've got next year, I doubt I will be able to afford it even on the cheap...

But if I could, I've already got my race bike sorted out LOOK HERE a P-reg carby 600 SS that the owner reckons makes 110 Bhp...

Still, if it did make 110 Bhp it would make a nice change...me having twice as much power as all youse boys instead of half as much.

Hmmm, interested ish!!

There would have to be a lid on the costs involved though. A flash rear shock and fork rebuild could easily eat up £1K.

This sounds great fun..wish I hadnt flogged my 600 monnie to rockhopper now !!

Myself and rich llewellin went in the fast group at the UKMOC track day at mallory on our 600 carbd monnies..full of S4/S4R's, and we were going round the outside of some of them at gerrards !..you be surprised what decent lap times can be achieved on these ickle dukes..its all about carrying your corner speed, and the single disc set up is more than upto the job on the earlier bikes..

Is that with rearsets on and the like? I'm keen on this, but don't want to go the way of the 996R and buy lots of bits for a 620.

Anyone post a list of what would be minimal reqs to be a trackbike and then a list of how mad you can go with these?

Changes to shocks, forks and bars sounds good
How about pipes, K&N filters and either Dynojet or Powercommanders as per Dynojets listing.
Rearsets or Jack-up plates, Steering dampers.

Thats about in line with what we were allowed to do under Proddy reg rules at the 2002 TT.

Then could I fit a 916 fairing to a SS
Would wets be allowed
Could we fit a SPS or wavey disc and 4-pad calliper

I haven't even finished this years racing (Silverstone this Sat) and I'm already planning next years
