2003 999R vs 2007 1098S

I wouldn't buy either.

I'd use the money to do more racing instead.

knew I could count on you two to muddy the waters!

Funny, but I started my hunt after being tempted by a cheap 998, now its spiralling out of control! I need to buy something before the missus comes home to find a Desmo parked in the garage!!

This sounds like the best option to me...

(1098S over 999R any day!)

More racing would be good, but seeing as the DD bike looks like this at the moment, racing is on the distant horizon!

Spend it in the bike and not the racing, sometimes it doesn't last that long

You already have the answer .....

Imagine you have a second only to decide which bike to own. One bike will immediately come into your head and that is the bike to buy.

Only issue is, if it isn't either of bikes you mention. But hey, I'm new to this Zen/Life Coach stuff.

I'm no mechanic, but I think there are some bits of your race bike missing!

Is that service or repair?

steeevvvooo · 25-Jun-2012, 20:56

Service/refurb/upgrade/repair

numbskull · 25-Jun-2012, 21:38

Not much to do there then.

When is your next race meeting?

steeevvvooo · 25-Jun-2012, 22:21

15th I think? I'm on a stag this weekend, so very much doubt it'll be ready
