So, after discussing options after the spun bearing in the S2R1000, I'm looking for a new bike.

To switch it up, tell me why I SHOULDN'T get an 821. I'm looking at the Dark, mainly because I'm not really interested in the red or white options.

Looked into a 796 because I like the SSSA, but the 18k mile service interval of the 821 is hard to pass up.

IMPO, for me is more than enough, for many, lacks power, it is a comfortable bike, got to ride one for at least 100kms and I was fine, not tired, balls intact . . . heats up the right side in traffic . . . you will not want to replace the battery, very uncomfortable job to do

you will need to test ride one . . . rding position is ackward since you cant ride on the ball of the feet since heel will hit passenger footrest . . .unless you go the  CNC Racing Racing footrest way

Thanks, I think the power will be more than enough coming from my S2R1000, especially with the boomtubes. Dyno numbers put the 821 about 20hp up from mine.

Im guessing that number happens later though, so it will rev out to get the hp rather than have low down grunt.  Grunt is fun like DP said, but only one way to find out.

Might be servicing it less often, but 4-valver is gonna cost you more each time.

What's the service interval with the newerish 2-valvers? It's not going to be 3 times more expensive.

796 is 7500 miles, 821 is 18000

Yeah, the cost of the service should not be a deterrent unless we're talking more than double.
