haha, making money
I dream of one day breaking even just one race weekend
and Oreo, I hear ya on the "Thousand Dollar Weekends", two words for ya: Cycle Jam... OUCH, I spent over $2,000 in one weekend (okay, 4 day weekend) and didn't earn a cent back
but yeah, lightweights are the way to go, depending on what series you run with (I'm a WERA guy myself) so I like the SV650. Its not just a total departure from 600s but its definitely different and the classes are a hell of a lot better (smaller grids and you don't have to have a brand new bike with $10,000 worth of mods just to finish near the front (it is a very competitive class around here but not as crowded)
of course you might want to check and see if the shop will still sponsor you if your not running a Honda or Yamaha, that cuts your choices of lightweight down pretty good, but the Honda/Yamaha 600s are badass if you stay with that route
