The other thing is cost, there are loads of spare front wheels out there since they are standard, but a pound to a penny says there are very few s/h rear wheels for 600's since they are a 4.5" rim and are the only Ducati to use that size. With 30-35 riders in the series for everyone to have wets means we need that many rear rims-I am willing to bet there aren't that many laying in breakers in the country, and they are about £550 new! So potentially you need a front rim say £100, + a new rear at £550 + wets at £200 for a pair + a front stand-hmmm, your £300 is up to about £900 Dom-for something you may not need and which has little use to anyone else unless they a racing in DesmoDue.

My rear wheel cost me £65 and came complete with everything - disk, carrier etc, ready to put a sprocket on and just chuck in.

I might have just lined up a front for £100.

Just thought I'd comment on the cost issue.
