Monster S4R or 998

Had a similar dilemma myself. Wanted to get into track days, so the idea was to sell the S4 and replace it with an ST4S and get a 916 for a track bike.

Just didn't get on with the ST4S and couldn't bring myself to sell the S4. So I sold the ST4S and spent some money improving the S4.

Could have bought an S4R but hate the exhausts and single sider. Money wise it just didn't seen like an upgrade to me, and for a testastretta I was looking at double the money of the S4. Didn't add up.

I'm now in the position where I've used the monster on track and it's a daily too. Went great but im finding it's limitations already and now looking at an extra set of wheel for track tyres, rear sets and so on.

Think I'm just gonna leave it and look for an already sorted track back and leave the S4 for daily duties. It looks great, handles awesome and is fun and comfortable to ride and great for urban use. I doubt a 916/998/996 would be so liveable day to day.
