Yeah, Its time to move on. Im not giving up racing, just cant keep putting myself into more and more debt. Will spend the year getting fit and try to find some sponsorship then hopefully get a later model bike to race

Its going to be a VERY hard year, but I dont want to keep thinking... what if..

Why don't ya get a pro twins bike if $$ is the concern ?

**Sparky Bills** · 18th January 2008, 22:44

Cause they still end up costing the same...

And I love racing a 600. Im proud to race a 600.
...and Honda dont do a Pro Twins bike hehe

Nope, don't think so. There's a shit load of power difference -I did a whole track day on used tyres and they are still good for another day or two.

I would love to race a 600, but would need some sponsorship. And, yeah, I might have to write to Mr Honda and ask him to make me a 650.

Depends if the rules say they're specifically not allowed I guess. They probably don't because they didn't think anyone would be mad enough to race one against modern bikes.
