    The issues revolve's around what brands of bike are more competitve when in stock "ish" form. For instance - the concern by some is that we will end up with a field of BMW S1000RR's running around...... :-)
    I wouldn't mind watching that !!
    I guess if I was a dealer/importer of another brand I might have a different view though

    Yeah, they would all likey have a different view for sure, and it is simpler just to accept that "your gonna piss someone off by proceeding along that line"

    Billy's pretty thick skinned though...........

    My bike has suspension and an exhaust and its competitive.

    Ask any superbike rider the major crippling cost is the tyres.

    And for 600's as well -- Um I probably have CRASH repairs high on the list (at least once for skimping on tyres )

    Without a doubt,But then you know what they say,If it's got tits or tyres,Its gonna cost you money.

    The point being,If we take the cost of engine modifications out of the equation,Then youve got more $$$$ to spend on tyres and testing.

    Or option B, we bring in a new rule that states you can only run the machine on the brand and size/profile tyer it is sold with from new,Would certainly lessen the tyre bill,Not so sure about the crash damage though LOL
