I have a cheque for £200 burning a hole in my desk....

I'm afraid I know little about this racing mularky but can't wait to give it a go.

I know even less about 600cc 2 valve Ducati's.

But having read what everyone has said and the proposed regs,my laymans opinion is as follows:

Chassis
Why can't we chop off all the unwanted bits?
Change the swing-arm - don't see why not - no idea how that may significantly help me? - so leave it stock
Suspension - regs seem fine to me
Brakes - regs seem ok
Wheels - stock wheels only
Fairings - can you fit one to a monster?
Tyres - control tyres only, supercorsa's or similar - seem to plenty around part worn
Suspension linkage - see swing arm above?
Catch tray - ok
Minimum weight - ok subject to chopping off the odd brackets etc

Engine
Overbores - why? if we're running 600's lets run 600's?
Compression - as regs
Valves etc - as regs
Clutch - as regs
Internals - as regs
Inlet stuff - as regs - I asume that any overkill will be restricted by valves etc.
Exhausts - as regs
Alternator etc - as regs
Fuel - as regs

Riders
all as the regs

So all that leaves me to ask is what would be a more competive beastie - the monster or the SS.

I don't mind which, just hurry up and make your bloody minds up so I can go and buy one before the bargains all go

The guys and gals who own monsters and ss's must think christmas has come early with us lot about to hit the market place
