A daytime MOT doesn't make your bike road legal. It's been discussed loads and that's the outcome every time!

Don't think you can buy use a 750 with a 600 engine... I'm sure someone else was denied that request previously, but could be wrong.

SS or Monster? Dunno!
Twin discs? Single worked ok for me but went with the twin setup because it just felt better for me.
Suspension. Spend more money on this than sorting out power... I'm of the opinion that corner speed gains you more time than power on most uk tracks.

Splash the cash on practicing, not many people are better than their bike!

Where are you based?

SS or monster is a personal choice, they handle differently, either would do though! See what you can find cheap.
Twin discs are not necessary provided you run decent pads, i recommend Performance Friction, i ran a single disc for 3 meetings and had no brake problems at all. You can add a second disc providid you have the caliper mount on the fork leg if you prefer.
Suspension - not much wrong with standard provided it's in reasonable condition, just set the shock up correctly.
If you go for a monster you'll need high level cans and rearsets, you can make do better with standard bits on an SS.
Spend the money on trackdays!

As for costs, realistically £3K all in, includes buying the bike and prepping it, cheap leathers, entries, couple of trackdays, tyres etc. You can spend more of course!!!
