Discussion 916 or 996 or 998

[Suthrnr]

Question
If money was no object, and you really liked The 916,996, and 998, which one would you buy. I really want to get one of these but I am not sure which one to get. It would mainly use it as a track bike, but I would want to ride it on the road as well. What do you think?

998 of course. If you're buying one of those three, get the one with the most improvements.

I agree if what you want is to get the most efficient version.
Is your goal is to own a piece of history, I would go for a 916SPS or one of the first regular 916.
But watch out: a friend of mine has one of the first #20ish and the electronic is worse than is a Fisher-Price toy... :-\
