CEC vs BEC
I just wanted to know how many people support each side (sorry you can't choose both even though i know you wouldn't want too!)
so what will it be?

A poll, very disappointing. I thought that was a challenge, a real grude match, between the two sides. 1 trackday, 10 BEC's, 10 CEC's.
0-60, 1/4 miles, quickest lap etc etc.
Points for reliability, reversability, speed, number of gears, rev limit.

im finding my bike engine completely inappropriate for road use, its just too quick to be safe, and too hard to drive slowly. With a car engine it was
much more sedate, you could actually drive legally with a little effort. Thats unfortunately out of the window now. I was blitzing down a road the
other night and came across 3 cars going slowly (ie at the speed limit), was contemplating just whizzing past all three flat out, but decided id had
enough irresponsible driving for one day. Lucky call, as the rearmost one was a marked police car! Still rather embarassing as i slowed onto his
bumper from a red line overrun
So on the whole, i find it rather depressing, as im sure to kill myself soon 
btw, i voted bec anyway, we all know why we're here

sounds like a BEC would be fun for the first month but then you'll want a nice long rest for a month?!

i guess its simp[le to say BEC's for tracks and CEC's for cruise and road. I have only had a ride in a BEC. how fast is standard 2.0 pinto
CEC 0-60?

I asked that a couple of months ago, and the general consensus was about 6 secs 0-60 with a std pinto. (Gives a power to weight of about 170bhp/tonne
based on a 600kg car - thats a tad more than the bog std elise).

Thanks for the compliment James....... I assume a read it correctly, you like the sound of BECs as they go by............
Personally, 5th year driving BECS and still love em, can see the reasoning behind a CEC for road use though, but i ain't reached the fed up
point yet, cant see it happening either.......

im gona hang out for the cec variety
at the recent westie weigh in a fairly standard megabusa came in at 520kgs (i know this can be a lot lighter). my fairly standard Vx westie came
in at 535kgs. ive got 215bhp, the busa 170
power to weight ratio is king and the bec's just dont have it.
at the ne7ers trackday there were a number of bec's and cec's. i was following cooooooose down the back straight (hes got a light R1
striker) and was lifting all the way down to stop burying it into the back of him. at that trackday there were a number of quick cars, they were all
cec.
personally i dont rate the bec as either a trackday car or a road car. they just dont have enough power

with a cec you always seem to be changing gear and bouncing of the rev limiter, becs are good for corner entry and exits, tight back roads, and gear
change, BUT you need some serious bec power to keep with a good cec on a long straight, the only advantage with a bec is you get a good start out of a
bend, becs do seem to go better than what they do.

Ive had both,
x flow westie great for road use cruising round on summer nights and still plenty of power to kick the sh1t out of the boy racers when you need to.
BEC now ive got an R1 indy, bloody brilliant frantic acceleration good handling (same as a CEC) and fearsome sound. good for track days and motorsport
but you wouldnt want to drive to the south of france in one and back..................you pays your money and you takes your choice.
