Yes, after all these years a 916 is still a great bike, sure it's 'slower' than all the new superbikes but still plenty fast enough in the real world for road use and very few bikes have the soul and spectacle of a 916.
I like this bike, more than any other I've owned and intend to keep it indefinitely.
As for the ti-nitride tubes, they are new tubes as I couldn't be arsed with dismantling/plating the old ones, cost £140 each through K-tech.
