Without setting people against people - 95/99S comparison

[gsxrman]

Probably not much help.
95 not too good and 99 feels like a toy.
80k all the way, or 77k if HFT etc.

Obviously miles off the OP mark, but can't disagree with these recommendations.. And I'd have to add in the 35 and 30.

If they built the modern day 50/99 like a scaled down 80, with a single piece under arm, and cocking shoe, along with screw in back block, it would be very nice indeed.

So, a bit like a short stroke 95 with screw-in block. Now that would be nirvana. Doubt it would ever happen, but we could live in hope.

If budget allowed (and sorry for deviating away from the 95 and 99), the ultimate hybrids from currently available guns would be sleeved down versions of the 35 and 80. Obviously done before with the Venom Lazaglides / V-Mach V-Glide and by our skilled home tuners. Lovely, lightweight internals married to the heavier weights and solid build giving a very benign cycle. Short stroke versions of the 80, even at 30mm bore, can also work sublimely. And the later 35 with the synthetic seal (or earlier version fitted with later piston and suitably tweaked) can also shoot very, very nicely.

Yes, that's the other way of looking at it!
As you say, it's not gonna happen...... More's the pity.
