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. [/quote]

I seem to remember saying somthing similar to that quite a few months ago. No big bore kits for either bike, no carb mods, just blueprinting, cans, brakes and rearsets etc then make the 620's either carry a weight penalty or fit restrictors.
If i was going racing i would want a chance to win, if i just wanted to have fun then i would spend all that money on loads of trackdays and get loads more tracktime.
Like Jools i looked at the costs and after i realised how much a 620 would cost i gave up the idea. Yes 600's are cheap but whats the point under the current rules?
