I went out on the other half's 36,000 mile-old 750ss yesterday for a few laps of the odd roundabout and reckon that I could go race it tomorrow if it was a 600! Sure it would be better (in my head?) if I spent money on modded forks, new shock, clip ons, rearsets etc but would all those bits would win races without me actually riding the thing properly - I think not! Also, don't forget that if you do buy a bike it can always be sold at the end of the season. Maybe not for what it cost but no one said racing was cheap. So I am going to send in my cheque so at least I won't have to spend next year thinking " I wish that there was a cheap Ducati series, it could have been a good crack....." PS Anyone wanna buy a 916-engined 888 road legal trackbike?? |
