Darn ‘23 CCS rule book really wacked us 790 guys around from the initial LW applicable classes. I wish the Kramer & RC8C subframe tanks mounted up on these for some real fun.
That's probably the main reason this hasn't sold yet. I'm in the market for a good LW bike (not SV), but not one that I can only use for a couple of classes. This is a good price for what you get, and if it was still legal for most LW classes, I would've got it by now. Wish I could find an equivalent RS660 build for this price!
I would have an RS660, if one were available anywhere near this price, if only to ride something different. Hell, if one were available for anywhere near the $13.5 I paid for this bike! Unfortunately that won't happen for a few years. FWIW, RS660's with the pilots I've seen are very similarly capable to this bike. This literal bike has run 13s or 14s at Loudon, which is top 3 MW times (similar to an RS660 piloted by MA's Ben Gloddy). I took 2nd nationally in LWSS behind MA's Gus Rodio on his RS660 in 2021 on it.
Yep. Best I've seen so far was Rodio's spare bike from last year for $15k, which is a good price for the level of build, but above my budget unfortunately. Bone stock ones are still going for $10-11k.
