Only know as i'm looking at options on a new 999 or a late 05 999 and havent worked out which makes most sense yet if any :-?

Eh?
The '02-'03 bikes were a claimed 124 bhp.The '05-'06 bikes a claimed 140bhp.Alledgedly the '05< bikes got the 'S' motor,minus the deep sump.On the road tho, the extra power makes little or no differance.
The only bikes that get the deep sump are 999S,999R and 749R.
