I think the trouble with the 848 series is that there's nowhere to realistically use a race 848 outside of this series. So no strong aftermarket or resale value etc, it does qualify for SoT etc, but you can ride a 1098 or 1198 in that, so would be underpowered.

It doesn't qualify for a 600 class, so it realistically has to run in its own series. Perhaps the series is aimed at Dealer supported entries and not individual punters? But are there 30+ dealers who can afford the resources to run a 848 in a big series? Perhaps there is.

Hence the reason for myself and Couch getting a non-current 749 Ducati model to run in a 600 series. The big-boys 1000+ series is mighty pricey and very competitive, so a 1198S is a bit too big budget!!! - although Tony does have one of those lying around !!
