Class 3:- 620cc M620, 620SS and 620 Multistrada models
Class 4:- 680cc M620, 620SS and 620 Multistrada models with a big bore kit.

If points were awarded for positions in each class then there would be several in with a shout of the overall championship. That is 1st in each class scores maximum points etc etc.

If like other classes in racing half points were awarded for only a limited number of runners in each class then the overall champion would probably come from the class2 or class3 runners. As there are more running in these classes

So race winners will still be race winners but they may not be championship winners.

Skids - thats exactly what Al & I were discussing on the way home yesterday.
We would like to keep our bike to the std 583, as the (much more expensive and totally useless) BB kit for the later engined M600's doesnt work.
However, even with dear mr Rossi on board, I think it would struggle to be anywhere in the 1st half of the field on any track with distance on the straights.

We cant afford a new bike, new engine, machining for barrells or whatever now, and have tied up over £350 in a 'kit' we cannot use, that reduces our already low BHP from 48 down to 39. Hence why the std engine.

MT/Race team management - over to you, your thoughts please, on what has been - and will be, a 'talking point'
