Have I got this right? the mp3 has the same engine as the GTS? They're bringing out an mp3 400? Does this mean I'll be able to slap a 400 engine in my GTS?
If this is the case I can see an equity release application looming  |

not the same engine, the mp3 400 will be using a sleeved down master engine the same as in the nexus 500 and fuocco, fitting one of those in a Gts would mean major surgery.
bummer 'eh

Hi Dearnseman, Ive had exactly the same thoughts, but the GTS 250 isnt bad as is, without all the engine mods available, trouble is you get used to em dont you, and faster has to be better innit? or TS1s would never have been invented? trouble is you start making exuses not to ride wi all the PXs, GP200s etc, and are in danger of becoming a billy no mates! vicious circle these GTSs, Ive also got an Eibar series 2 winter model, tricky paint, 250 ported Rayspeed Lammy, 6 plate clutch, etc etc, dont wanna ride it now, been spoiled see. best wishes, Paul.
