It's a fairly standard SV650.

The race was particularly cheap because it's not a championship race and is on the smallest track.
So £95 for the weekend. (£125 for 'normal' racing here or £235 for the most expensive track)
Using race scrub I'd expect to pay about £50 for the tyres for this size bike. New tyres starting at about £170, then selling them on for 50-80 depending on how knackered you've got them (I've sold tyres that I've only done 4 races on for £80, while those I've done 4races + 6 practice sessions for about £65.
Normally a practice day would be £100-150.
Petrol would be between £20 and £75, depending on how much you use a generator and how much you use up on the practice day.
Diesel £40 in this case, often more.

I did this weekend (apart from buying the bike) pretty cheaply, as there was no practice and I used tyres that came with the bike.
The bike cost me £3100 and has come with a couple of spare sets of used tyres, spare fairings, tyre warmers and a few other bits.

It's definitely not cheap and I wouldn't reccomend doing it unless you've got loads of money or are started to get frustrated at trackdays (I found there's often not enough people to chase, which is the bit I like the best Smile ). In this case I was mostly at the back, but could at least just about keep up with the backmarkers. You're obviously also not going to be getting great value for money if your lap times aren't similar to others racing, so until you can at least take corners as well as an average fast group trackday, it doesn't seem worth it unless you got lots of money and time to burn.

Not short of cash are we then Laughing

How does it compare to the R6? Surely your banging your head wanting for that power thats missing?

You going to just enter a few races here and there?

I hope that wheelie was under red flags dictating the end of the race and not a crash! Shocked Laughing Wink

could someone get away with entering a tunned RGV/NSR/RS250 etc track bike in minitwin racing, or does it have to be a four stroke like a SV650?

I think it has to be a four stroke, tuning is very limited so I doubt there are many two strokes that would comepte that well (bimota vdue might be an exception). You are allowed to change engine parts for those in a different version of that model, but not aftermarket designs.

New exhausts, some carb components, rear suspension and front suspension internals are allowed.

Maximum size is 650cc.

It was pretty much designed for SVs.

The 850cc is a little too close to supertwins.


The TRX can very easily be made to put out over the 72hp maximum that the minitwins series has.
