Your in the same postion as me then, thats what I want to do and have been looking into it and thinking about what needs doing....
There are others on here who have raced min twins, who will have a better idea, though this is what I have worked out so far.
I assume as you have an SV you would to get into mini twins, which is the race prep version of out road bikes, there are limits to what you can do also the engine must be standard and the BHP limit is 72BHP.
You need an ACU licence which means a race school, take a test and join a club that will get you your licence.
After that you will need a race bike or convert you road bike to race, within the racing regs. It must also be lock wired and have a catch tray for oil ect so it doesn't go all over the track.
Your bike what ever you spend on it.
Also riding gear, full one piece leathers, a good lid (I ride with an RX7) a full back protector, racing gloves and boots and ear plugs. So thats close to a £1000 there.
You will need WOW (wet on wheels) for wet races plus spares to fix the bike as you will crash/come off.
You will need a van, a genny probally 2-3KW output, tools, tryre warmers, awaning, camping gear. this lot £2-3000, remember insurance for the van and bike and the inital cost of buying gear.
Money to pay for entry for the race w/ends, praticse day, Tyres, fuel (desil and petrol of the bike and genny) food is what comes to mind.
From speaking to other in mini twins its about £8000 for a full sesion if you do every round, but you don't have too.
At the moment I'm trying to find some better costing to pass info to a sponor to see what they will give me. Its not cheap, I will have to go without many things.
