Don't for get the s has an alloy rear sub frame and adjustable footrest hangers.
As said above not worth buying a bip and trying to transform it. I traded in an 888 for a 749s and the difference is unbelievable. The looks grow on you too.
Iwould go for a second hand bike as most have done a few summer miles and will have had some carbon thrown at them. for some reason and you may not agree I think the build quality is better on the 1st 03 models.
