Instead of trying to level the series (albeit too late) with talk of how the 583/674 people should spend another thousand or so to get flat slides and some serious engine building done, how about asking John Hackett and Neil Spalding to work out the size of inlet restrictor that would be needed to restrict 620's or 680's to 52 bhp.
Shouldn't be hard for top engine builders to work out and would cost the 620/680 boys about £20 |
Wouldn't this be the most cost effective way to level the playing field? It would cost the carburetted people nothing...zip...nada and an intake restrictor would cost relative peanuts to fit to injection bikes, be they 620's or 680's. That way, this whole thing is settled for minimum cost and maximum fairness. Which in spite of people believing that I'm a DesmoDue hater is all I've ever wanted to see....a truly level playing field. |
but jools, how level do you want to make it?
what about people who have bought ohlins? get them to sling them in the bin?
i saw a few with steering dampers? take them off then?
some went to almeria with the CSS i couldn't afford it. will someone give me the cash to go and do it before next season.
i really do think it is about as level as you can get when you try to encompass 3 different models of bike over 13 years of production.
