A good compromise from what I have seen is get hold of RS running gear, frame, forks, swingarm, wheels etc then chuck in a Testastretta road engine, albeit heavily tuned that'll cost about 20K but will start on the button and have cheap running costs but have the pukka handling.

you've thought about this far too much haven't you ???

Not really, my mate with his RS02 has also just built the above using his old 150HP 996R lump, this is now his "wet" bike when racing setup a bit softer for those very conditions, looks identical to his RS02.

Dibble, this is the guy I was trying to get on Brands...
