Been watching this thread...

This series is extreemly cheap to do and a testament to the rules and bikes chosen. My bike has come in at under £2k and its won a race!!

I spent 15yrs racing battery model cars right upto world level and we used to spend a fortune on those little 'toy' cars. Tyres every-other race (6xqualifying races, plus final), motor every meeting, batteries every month or so.......

Also to keep on context, I spent £800 on 'upgrading' the suspension on my R1.... I have spent £9.99 + about £60 on the 583 (fork oil & used rear shock).

It can be done very cheaply and, yes, like all bikes you can 'bling' them up...
