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.

Now I have an RSV I think v-twin for the road and inline-4 for the track would suite me down to the ground. Also the thought of racing a big v-twin without a slipper clutch scares me. Just seen the Mille you mentioned, that does look super clean, good find. Get your VFR400 and let's go historic racing, life's too short eh!

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 :)
