for me i thin it will depend how the racing goes this year in terms of time used up. as we are all discovering, practice, testing and the actual racing weekends takes up a fair amount of time and i do need to do other things at the weekends too. i do like going out on my sunday rides or on summer evenings but i am finding it increasingly dangerous purely from a power point of view. i simply ride far too fast on the road and the possiible outcome should something go wrong doesnt bear thinking about. i love my 999 but for the road it is quite simply far too powerful and i cant resist using it. i love the meeting up and chatting over breakfast etc but i will get that from the racing paddock if i stick with it.
i will see how this year goes, stick with the 999;maybe get something 'sensible' (monster 620 for example) for the road ; or just do the trackday racing stuff. will have to see how it pans out.
