Quite frankly the idea of setting up a 4 valve series for Class C has been looked into a few times and whilst say a 748 can be bought for maybe £2K, it is the cost of prep and maintenance that is the killer. I think the last of these bikes is now at least 7 years old and not necessarily relevant to Ducati from a racing point of view.

There is the problem of setting up a set of rules to stop cheating - there are two many performance enhancing parts about - so you would end up having to dyno everyone at every race meeting.

Basically thats why we set up the 848 Cup!

Now the 696 would make a very good basis for a new part of the series - how much can you pick one up for now?
