bike + rider weight minimum limit would be good :)

Would suit me, had a jump on the scales this morning to see Im the wrong side of 14 1/2 stone.

If I were 15 years younger, 1/2 my weight and about a foot shorter I would have liked to try and do this racing stuff seriously!

Perhaps this chap could build us a bunch of bikes for a series...

My own thoughts for Class A would be (as a few have said) use the 696 Monster, if you have not ridden one, get out and try one:D


Chris:burn:

nice...but may not fit the budget racing tag ;) :lol:

Please keep it the same as im currently looking at buying a class b bike to race next year, or even end of this season :D

go for it Spence ;) time for Snetterton yet...

cant imagine B will change as its 2/3rds at least of the grid

Quite frankly the idea of setting up a 4 valve series for Class C has been looked into a few times and whilst say a 748 can be bought for maybe £2K, it is the cost of prep and maintenance that is the killer. I think the last of these bikes is now at least 7 years old and not necessarily relevant to Ducati from a racing point of view.

There is the problem of setting up a set of rules to stop cheating - there are two many performance enhancing parts about - so you would end up having to dyno everyone at every race meeting.

Basically thats why we set up the 848 Cup!

Now the 696 would make a very good basis for a new part of the series - how much can you pick one up for now?

I havn't been 14½ stone since I was 14½ years old! - You light weight!

I think Chas is right though, and it would benifit "the larger man" as they could have a heavier bike with more power, a lighter fellow or lady could have a super quick light weight machine.

Racing ain't cheap :(
