I don't think it a matter of being able to afford it at all--I think it's more a matter of not wanting to throw money away. The 916 that I bought in 2005 still had the original white lettered belts--they were 10 years old. I changed them to the kevlar red lettered belts back in '05 and are still running on them today. I'm going to be too busy messing with another project bike next summer, so I probably won't get around to changing the 916's belts to 2011. I'm not sweating it at all either......The newer belts are incredibly strong and I don't run the bike that hard.......
