Cheers for the help everyone, I phoned Andy at AB today who was incredibly helpful. Have decided to let the proffesionals sort me out with a proper engine for the RGB series.

What engine have you gone for? Are you getting it from Andy?

After talking with Andy I have decided to go for a properly sourced and fully prepared 919cc Fireblade from AB, if I went for a newer 1000cc engine I would have had to have cut corners. Instead I'll have a full engine package with the reliability and piece of mind that will bring.

With the Fireblade I can be out there on the grid starting and finishing races, learning the car and the tracks and enjoying racing. Then when Top Secret Project 'HHS' replaces the Life-Taker hopefully I can start challenging for some wins

Thats what i run, one of andys 919's, airbox, jetting kit, fuel pump and one of his exhausts. they seem pretty bullet proof, heated one to 160degrees this year, let it cool after the race and it drove it onto the trailer! great little engines, just the gearboxes that seem to cause the problems.

no the 929 is the fi unit..

over here in ireland in our Version of the RGB we can ONLY run 893, 919, 929 blade and ZX9R..

929 seems to have alittle more poke for the straights but there is very little in it and in my opinion alot more to go wrong with them (electrics wise) , never mind a fairly complex install when it comes to wiring (for me as i know nothing about electrics. im a nut and bolt man!)
