Or even a 996 RS or 998 RS?

I'm thinking of a pure track tool, wouldn't see road miles and might even be raced.

I think a 748 RS would be eligible for axe murderers but I don't fancy my chances in Supertwins seeing as its gone MRO! Although a bigger RS would be eligible for Derby Pheonix Thunderbikes (well I think they call it Thunderbikes)

So how much do you reckon? Kev (skids)? Felix?

Throw me a bone ...

You don't need an RS to compete in DP's Thunderbikes. On my SV650 minitwin at Croft (a power circuit) last weekend I took a 15th and a 12th place in that class against bikes with twice the horsepower. A well set up 996/998 or a 748R will be right up there.

It's the rider that counts. An RS would bankrupt you and put an early end to your racing aspirations. And if you haven't got previous racing experience then you won't get the best out of an RS.
