Plan is to keep it standard-ish.
Maybe a Strada single seat unit that is about it.

Yeah the monoposto looked great.
Every motorcyclist should experience riding a 916. If I had real money I'd have one to ride on occasion and dry hump in the lounge room.

They're more fun to hump at the track...just sayin'.
I'd hate my SBK on the street, and it really doesn't start to handle, even at the track, until you start to push a little.

I took a 916SP through the local mountains on a test ride back in the day. It was a peak experience, first time knee down on public roads by pure accident it was that good to ride. I remember thinking that it was like cheating, knee down through a decreasing radius down hill corner with mid corner bumps. I also remember getting to the good roads from the bike shop was indeed uncomfortable in traffic and it was a warm day so I discovered the route of the exhaust..
That was 15 or so years ago, so it would kill me to commute on one now, but I now live 10 minutes from the good roads. Id get a 1098 for the track, but its all fantasy.

I nearly bought a 916 instead of Molly back in 2003. The sales guy steered me away from the 916 because he was of the opinion that the PO hadn't properly cared for it. I also almost bought a Matrix edition 998 later on.

In the city, they're all motorized leg-baking torture racks, IMO.
In areas where you can maintain decent speeds, and no signals or stop signs, they're much nicer.

Luckily I live in the countryside (and always have) so no issues apart from caravans, tractors and Sunday drivers!!!

I keep moving further out of town.
Congrats Yorkie, I'm envious.
Getting the full monty service from Sigma?
Coating the pipes would be on my list as would getting a different radiator thermostat, fan switch and/or manual fan switch as I'm in Australia. Bikeboy has a good report on cam settings, flywheel, eproms, etc.
