Shouldn't be too much.  GEICO was going to charge me about $50 dollars a month for full coverage on that 996 that I was looking at when I first came to the islands, if I remember correctly.

I'm stupid broke these days, and another loan just for toys would be awful irresponsible on me

If yur gettin anything close to serius bout that we should get permission to do a bit of close inspection on that thing.  Depending on the title status you might not be able to get full coverage so insurance might be cheaper than you think. No need turbo already. I'd like to see you pull the trigger all the way hard and then tell me if you think you need more.  [laugh]
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

I ride the chick bike, remember? I don't think i'd need to do any engine work on a 999  ;D

Come to think of it two of the things I would have done had I kept that bike would have been to install a Nichols flywheel (more for chassis handling than engine revs but the revs would be bonus) and a Speedymoto water pump housing (for bling, the alleged increased cooling and because the side case would already be off to do the flywheel).

That 999 was plenty comfy.  I think it would do fine as an only bike if you could deal with the heat it put out.

I know... the immediate impression pickin' her up of the stand was "shit, this feels like my bike!"

I emailed the owner. He says it definitely has a clear title. No salvage title. He's willing to make a deal, whatever that is.
