I'd say RS660, you're unlikely to keep it long so it blowing up shouldn't be a problem

Spoke to the Spanish barman in a bar in Alcaniz (home of the Aragon circuit) who has recently bought the 900. Said it is an absolute weapon on the track.

If it's anything like the F800 engine it's even blander than that.
