Otherwise we just end up being another Minitwins/thunderbikes. I would like to keep things simpler than that.... it is the main reason I joined DD in the first place rather than any other series. I didn't have to know a lot about bikes... I could just go buy one and race knowing I could be competitive. If we mess with that, we could lose what the series is about (in my opinion). |
You could as you say tweak the 848 except it's not air cooled
Also there are a lot of people in DD that like to fettle & that's what it's all about for them.
Even if you bought a new 696 you still need to do something about the suspension as it's pretty basic.
I think that going one model 696 would put a lot of people off as there are not enough cheap bikes out there, It's hard enough to find desent 620's.
Also what would happen to the present 620's no where else to race them??
