That's a matter of opinion of course! Watercooled? Naah thanks, nasty ugly plumbing. Aircooled till I die, thanks!
(and my M900 produces more torque than your S4, so there!

Not sure how you work that out? The mid range torque on the S4 is far higher then the M900 and M1000 come to that!

...and I didn't see anybody passing an S4 (not even the r and rs did!) on the track day except those racing types who do Desmo Due or WSB or whatever its called nowadays.

The S4 peaks at around 64 ft-lbs of torque at about 7000 rpm, my 900 carb peaks at 69 ft-lbs, although to be fair it has been tweaked a little

I can see the first shreds of doubt already appearing in your mind. Maybe you've bitten off more than you can chew challenging Beelzebub?!
