keep the 916 but tweak the motor with a 955 kit and some modded heads, it'll go like stink...

Hi,my name is Steve,I would buy you all a drink, but i try not to drink with amatures! But hey thats not your'e fault! There are two schools of thought sell it,or if you have found a bike that suits ,you that looks the ******** and is cool then tune the nuts of it and keep it! I myself own 3 dukes,none are standard,none would recoupe the money spent on them but all 3 are mine,individual and go as well as they look,if not better!One i have owned for nearly 30 years,it still turns heads,wins prizes! So you pays you're money and take's your'e choice.I'm for keeping and modifying. Steve. 250 desmo,900/950 ss bevel,851/916sps.

Yep,i voted

Guess ????

Leave it standard but get the engine painted. You rarely see standard 916's as they always have some tacky bit added on. The more you add the more you devalue what is a classic bike
