I quite like the idea of an older project bike that's tricked out, and rider capable, not far off the heels of newer machines, ala... https://youtu.be/uW5q7FLvY3Y
Hopefully being cheaper it shouldn't be as bad when it visits the kitty litter. Don't mind the spannering, actually enjoy that as much as riding but agreed when it stops you getting out not fun. I know deep down you're right about newer being the 'sensible' option, do like the idea of 2 RSV's in the garage :)

Nope. Say no more fam. I get what you're saying now and take back what I said. Tinkering for me is part of the fun as well. If I know how it works, I'll know if it goes wrong and if I know what goes wrong, I can get back out there with minimal fuss and enjoying the work.
It's why I daydream about a VFR400 as a project.

I'd hit up a more modern iteration of those. Not saying it's a bad idea, but wringing something that old on the track might have you spending more time in the pit.
I mean..there's a track ready RSV Mille with spare wheels for two notes on eBay.
