I would think people would like to race against riders on equalish machinery.

I'd no someone who just got a 3rd place in the MRO AT CROFT on a nearly standard k3 1000 165 bhp...where most of the other bike are over 180 bhp and ex work bikes....

Chris Firmin? I know Chris and he's a top rider and all round top bloke.

165bhp v 180bhp is 9% diff in power.
51bhp v 63bhp is 24% diff in power.

Do the maths. Chris against 203bhp would be more like our dilema. How would he do against Rutter et al, do you think?

are you all saying that if you've had a 620 you would of beaten Geoff...may he is just a better rider....

When did I say that? Geoff IS a very good rider, and I believe that if we swapped bikes, I'd lap faster.

do you really think it would be better for DSC to run two classes...cant you just do some head work on the big bored to make them work..

It's not in the rules


then how come andy johnson is 5th in the championship on a 600????I'd at least thought you would have done better times then you did Dom..with your race experience!! i'd thought you would be at least one second better then all the other 600....Maybe its because you've havent been out on a bike much.......when you have been out a few more times you might be able to keep up with the 620i and beat them..
