This was kicked around by the MT before the series got off the ground, but as well as the financial and liability aspect as Chris has pointed out there is the preparation and storage aspect to consider as well. To make it work you would need to have someone from the club able and prepared to build and maintain a bike, transport it to meetings, make sure it's on good rubber etc, then be prepared to fix it when someone has thrown it into a barrier? Not really a realistic prospect, and to have one of the dealers do this would cost a fortune. From memory the cost to entrants for the Monster S4 series was £6-8000 which included the cost of all entries and the use of the bike-but you didn't get to keep the bike. If you wanted the bike at the end of the year the cost was £15,000.
