That fund is limitless anyway.....

I'd be looking to pay no more than £1k for the SS. There's a few around for that money without even looking at salvage and ex-race.

Over an eight race series I'd be pleasently surprised not to bin it once, so the thought of binning a £3k 620 makes me feel kinda queasy.

I'm also working on the assumption that the series will be a success, and that there'll be a line of future competitors a mile long waiting to buy 'race-prepped' 600s!! If I loose £500 then it'll have been a cheap year.

Kev: I was under the impression that the big bore kits had lighter pistons (to counter the weight issue).

Having a difference in weight would be a fine, but I can't see how we'd shave 20kg off a 600SS without mags/carbon everything. Bit pricey like.....
