very rare to find them 2nd hand at all Bradders. (rocking horse****)
can find 750's (carbed & ie) which have a few differences (not at the bottom tho) but cant use them - even the bottom end, so we have been told.

ps: Antony - that want personal mate, but poor taste 'joke'
Im sure there is Paul but i shudder at the cost of the FCR's the dyno'ing the engine work the bespoke zorst set up etc etc.....just for a few bhp is it worth it when for next head work may be allowed or a split class...................

Totally agree with you - as should be fairly obvious from your performances all season the FCRs do not guarantee as much an advantage as a good rider (no sour grapes, just a statement of fact!)
I'm about to contradict my vow from last Saturday to stay out of it, but IMHO the best results are being gained by the best riders and the differential between a 620 and a 675 is negligable. Tin hat on.
on the flip side my bike is probably one of the best out there in terms of power and reliablility. but my (lack of) skill means i'm not fully exploiting it.
the bikes dont ride themselves.
i personally dont think a few bhp here or there makes any difference
no its not the engine issues. i agree it would be ideal to have all the engine configs chucking out the same. but i honestly dont think 5-10 bhp makes that much difference. ridaer ability is much more important. take 5 bhp from you and add it to me would it make much difference. i dont think so. your better ability will come through.

ok then let me suggest this..as you improve as a rider gain more experience, the mental attitude to racing changes and you start to bridge that abilty gap which will happen as none of us are gifted Rossi's then the BHP difference will become more evident........the 675's are at there limit being ridden on abilty if you like..you have huge potential on the bike you have and have barely scratched its potential.........
