It's good for £1100, a mate raced a 2000 one in the RSV cup

If you treat it as an £1100 bike that you throw away when it goes wrong, then you'll be fine, though my mate raced his for at least 5 seasons with no breakdowns - he did write it off hitting the pit wall at Brands though, which got him a helicopter ride to hospital.

They had a tendency in frontal impacts to snap the headstock off the frame. Makes them rather difficult to put in the recovery vanLe_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Mon Mar 15, 2021 8:58 am If you treat it as an £1100 bike that you throw away when it goes wrong, then you'll be fine, though my mate raced his for at least 5 seasons with no breakdowns - he did write it off hitting the pit wall at Brands though, which got him a helicopter ride to hospital.
