MH900E would probably be a better option than the Paul Smart

Early speed triple for the win..... cheaper than it'll ever be and cool as fuck.

The inner workings of my mind are of a major concern to me.

Remember what you were saying on Sunday? Whether it's 1000cc or 50cc, the restoration jobs cost the same... ;)

Great feedback, thanks all.

That 916 looks like the very thing, my budget is flexible enough. 999 also appeals.

I'm also thinking about taking a punt on an MSX125 Honda as a side interest.

You would be mad to have a 999 over the 916/998 bikes I've had both

999R and I have a 998 loved my 998 but naturally the thing didn't work half the time the 999 was a good bike but it was just the looks for me didn't quite do it ,.

- Gilles rear sets                     
- R&G Crash Bungs
- Hyperpro Rsc Damper
- Many other mods

The 916 would be the one I'd go for. It's the one I lusted after when it came out. And I still lust after them. It changed design standards so it remains iconic by being the first iteration.

I think 999 is more likely to appreciate in years to come than a 916

916 is the obvious choice that everyone will expect to be worth loads. 999 styling was ahead of its time and will be more sought after in the future imo. .....like the suzuki katana
