"""I have to agree with most of what Michael has said(there has to be a first time for everything mate
) Both Neil and John Hackett, engine builders who KNOW about Ducati's have stated that a big bored 583 when set up properly with short manifolds and flat slides will MORE than live with a 620. In fact John's reasoning behind his initial development of a the '620' big bore kit was because he felt the 675's would have an advantage! Having watched all of the racing at the weekend I have to say that Geof Spencer was VERY smooth and fast everywhere I could see him, noticeably faster than most into and over the mountain-which is just race and track experience. Don't forget that Dave Riley riding a standard-eg not specially dynoed and set up-620 monster with only 1 disk- was leading race 2 for the first 2 laps-and he is a novice rider, and Andrew Johnson finished 5th on a 583!

U can hardly call dave Riley a novice Monty or Andrew johnson...
Im sure i have the wrong perspective on this monty but you always fall on the side of the JHP Simga " known " riders side.?!?!?!........there should be no sides in this..
The issue is not about the standard 620 its about the BIG BORED 620 that we all voted against....
im so tired of all this bullsh*it and for me and others its detracting from what was gonna be a top series.........
