Hi Graham,

Your best bet is to reference the results, to see what your competitors will be on. Plenty of SV650s in the lightweight class.  Your duc is eligible for lightweight

Here are some results http://www.ccsracing.us/results/2007/071207%20SPR%20Results.htm

With regards to the over 40 category, there are two classes. Lightweight and F-40.
Your DUC could also run in the supertwins and maybe Thunderbike. Lots of classes

Graham,

I believe there are two classes that you will be competitive in. I think that the Duc 750 is legal in the ULW SB class of course depending on what region you will compete in. You can also run with the over 40 group of the LW F40 although that class is usually dominated by the Duc 1000DS.

All of the lightweight classes are open to you. Just have a good time while doing it.

Mark

Graham, welcome back to the track.  And glad to have ya back among the Yanks in the colonies!  As the lowly 600rider in the F-40, I welcome all bikes that have lower hp, heck, I'm just hopin you'll be a little rusty and run in the MA region!  Again, welcome, glad there's no hard feelings over that whole, "revolutionary war" thing.
