| Had these thoughts myself whilst mine was stripped down in feb, and decided against the 853 in the end because of the resale side of things.
When I get to the point of needing (as opposed to wanting) more power, I'll go for the 996R/998R option. Although, if one comes along at the right time and price either
916SP3 (955cc)
or
916SPS (996cc)
would do nicely.
But....whilst in MotoRapido on Friday, Steve did tell me how much it would cost to put a 999 engine in my chassis, and it was cheaper than the work I'd had done in feb, but about twice the cost of an 853. |
