| Haven't ridden either so this is just guesswork, but it's only about 8 Bhp difference isn't it?
I would've thought that for the price of a 2004 model you could find a decent 2003 model for a lot less. Riverside in Northampton were knocking out new 2003 spec. S's at about £1200 under list, but you'd get a low mileage one privately for what? Somewhere between 6.5 - 7.5K, probably with loads of carbon and Termis.
If you found one with Termis on, you would have enough money for some dyno time tweaking and probably get close enough to the 110 Bhp of the 2004 bike so as to make no difference, and still have enough change to pay for a good chunk of the WDW |
