Just seen this on New Era's forum...

Will this see the demise of the CB's and/or Hornets? Bike costs £7000, you get full race bodywork, race rear shock, rear sets, race exhaust, full set of sprockets, five sets of tyres, and a pair of spare wheels/discs. Strictly limited changes to suspension & carburetion. Series has been successful in Germany & it looks like it does OK in the USA. Looks like New Era will run an 8 round Series in 2007, prize money up for grabs (£250 for a win) and £2,500 for the championship winner. Bike sounds a little pricey to me (if you have to add on entry fees, fuel, testing, etc), what do you all think? Not sure if there's room for another one make series next year (Virgin Cup, ACU/Suzuki GSX-R Trophy, Triumph 675 Challenge, KTM 660 & 990 Superduke Series, Minitwins, etc.)

Alex Callan is the bloke to speak to on 07770 765995.
