Now then, a TZR is cheap (as in the parallel twin Bemsee Yamaha Past Masters class), a TZ is anything but! The TZ is a high maintenance pukka race-bike.

I've little to add to WJB's wise words but, TP, if you fancy something similar to the Duc, in the same race-class as the Duc (rather than a £1.5-2k racebike in a different class) then try a Mille. I've a pal who's just put up his Bemsee-podium-winning (with him on it) Mille for around £3k. Milles make a lot of sense as race and trackday bikes, and there are plenty around (pre-prepared) because of the MRO Mille-challenge class.
