Chassis

[Spjallen]

Just wondering what people think and why, what’s the best chassis in the class A? :confused:

[bradders]

SS I'd say going from class B. Main reason being it seems they can be made lighter much easier; even when taking time effort and chucking money at it sub 160 seems impossible, whereas some SS are bang on or under the 154kg limit

isnt the SS slightly more sport orientated too with its steering head angle?

how do you find the twin disc btw - worth doing anyway?!??

Got to be the monster as it's derived from the 851 super bike so has all the right geometry & is more adjustable than the SS, as for weight there's bugger all in it,
more good bit's around for the monster as lots of parts from 748/9** models fit.

Just my opinion others will say the SS is better & to be honest I think they both work well for the power a DD bike can produce.

I have built DD bikes from both;).

new view on me Chas, always heard the opposite said! I prefer the monster but thats more to do with the tank and bars ergonomics ;)

How many times has a Monster won the A class championship and how many times has a SS won it?

That's all you need to know ;)

2005 GS on a SS
2006 DC on a Monster
2007 KH on a Monster
2008 IC on a SS
2009 AS on a SS
2010 ML on a Monster
2011 NA on a SS

4 to 3 in favour of the SS then :)

Seems very evenally spread to me then!

[bradders]

there are a few out there right now..Neil's, Paul P's, Tims, Paul T's and I know of another monster too

I think the rider is more important than the bike. After all, my bike was the best out there......................:lol:

I agree with Paul.

Makes no difference which frame you use IMO.

Put fuel in, ride it, win. Simples :D

Seems very evenally spread to me then! exactly! there's really very little in it. down to the rider preference. i do hear tell that you need more than fairy dust and good intentions to secure one though! ;)

Not sure Ducati's MotoGP management would agree with that comment:lol:

I found that on my Class B SS I could through it around alot more, stand it on it's nose and tip it in without worry, My class A Monster feels much nicer to ride and handels high speed corners like island at oulton or gerrards at Mallory very well but it seems to want smooth wide lines I have found it much harder to dive up the inside into tight corners this year,,,,

BUT,,,

of coarse, it's a different bike not just the frame, my bike is probably one of the best on the grid,,, (thanks Chaz),, but a small part of me wished I kept my old one.

p.s. roll on next year, the bikes alwready in the garage under a sheet and a pile of rubbishwaiting to be dragged out in the spring..
