| I've always had the opposite view, since I'm not really into the 'best of breed' status type thing.
The fact is that I could get nowhere near the ability of a 999S so any benefit, real or imagined, that the R provides would be wasted. I think that this is true for most riders, the S would do 99.999% of what the R would do most of the time. In any case it seems to me that this years S is pretty much on par with last years R.
So all you're left with is the 'pride of ownership' thing. Nothing wrong with that, but if I had 'R' money I'd have an S and a Multistrada with the change. |
