I think the calculation is that one slightly tatty SRAD is worth about the same as a year worth of fish & chips, although if you didnt want the chips it would be more like 18 months worth of fish, which would be more accurate, seeing it was about the price of fish, not fish & chips.
Then it's probably best you keep your ill informed posts to yourself till you do what what you're talking about. Yes I've ridden an '07' ZX6R. Haven't raced one. Not many bikes I haven't ridden in my 21 years in the bike industry either.
I'm still laughing at your 'people like you...and 'track days' post too mate.
Once again...you know fuck all.
I think I'll be the judge of that!! I'm glad to have entertained you. Really is there a need for the expletives on a forum.
But seriously if we want more top NZ riders to succeed we need to give them experience on good equipment ie invest some money which a lot of you seem to be against.
I just had the super-est idea ever.
You should come along to a race meet, barge into some conversations and talk your shit to a few guys about how they don't know what they're on about, and then try asking them if there's 'really a need for expletives' when they respond.
Seriously.
I would pay money to watch that.

You might as well be mate. After all...you 'judged' me and said it was people like me that are the problem...or some such shit. Then you judged that me and the pieces of crap I'd like to see raced belong at "Track days".
My answer to you was (originally)...how come if you're so clever...? You didn't answer the question mate!? So go back...have a look at the questions I asked you about 'Production racing' (because that IS what this is all about right?).
Because if you knew ANYTHING about NZ road racing...you'd know that most of the truly successful road racers we've produced came through the ranks of PRODUCTION RACING.
The Poms might even jog your memory a bit for you if you ask your famous mates. They may've been at Donington when Simon Crafar (ex 250 proddie) beat a certain Mick Doohan by 11 seconds.
Doubt Simon would tell you they only belong at 'track days'.
Dork.
I dont buy the assertion that they became successful overseas largely because they came through the ranks of production racing. That in itself is misleading.
Andrew Stroud ( aside from his obvious talents ) had a very kind benefactor at that time ( Shanton ) and rides were arranged with Super Angel in Japan. Simon happened to be around and tagged along on one occassion as a reserve rider and got his chance to prove himself, being in the right place at the right time. My point, other forces at work.
I do though concede that if such a series gets up and running and gets ''bums on seats'' then there is more chance of riders going onto bigger things, weight of numbers as it were.
Just read in the October SuperBikes Magazine that there is a similar setup to this running in the UK at the moment - on GSXR600k8's. Looked to be doing very well. All the best Shaun, unfortunately i'm not in position to take up on the offer you're putting forward.

where opinion holds more weight than fact.
It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
