| Also Rons bike is a bit pretty and new for me (read 'budget') think a Cat D would be more my style.
The one thing that most of us in DD (except NealC) have never had to worry about is "the highside" and really the loss of front / rear crashes are generally the ones you get up from easy. But I feel that racing on a 100bhp+ bike a highside is an absolute certainty (at one stage or another).
So me moving up requires me coming to terms with the fact that in 2012 I might exit Clarke Curve at Brands (or any other) too hard on the gas and do a superman that could end up pretty bad.
Also I doubt that even at Brands (my favorite track), on a good day and an 848 setup just right I doubt I could get into the top 10, perhaps that is even wildly wrong and I might not even get out of last place? In which case it is a lot of money and risk?!
