Hello, I was wondering if there are any opinions or thoughts on the model that would be classed as the class to have. Not including R/S/SP versions etc. I seem to think the 916 is the classic, with the others following closely behind.
916, no question. Its THE bike. No-one ever writes an article saying 748, 996, 998 etc. Its always 916 - Massimo's masterpiece. Sure the 996 and 998 make more power, but who cares? Besides the slab sided 998 etc isnt as pretty. No it isnt, it isnt...no returns...ner Buy a good unadulterated one. Choose wisely. Fabulous machine and mine still makes me smile.
A return: (ner) the wheels on the classic look shit, making the whole bike look shit when compared to the 998 (true)
Set a budget and then find the nicest bike that fits that budget, be it 916, 748, 996 or 998. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with any of those models. Andy
your missing the cheap 749 as a great bike to ride for virtually no money to buy. I think it may well keep its money if not increase in future which isnt why I bought it but might be a consideration for you. way better than the 748 it replaced. looks really grown on me after a year of ownership. best £3k you will spend imho.
Andy has said it all with post #6 but the original 916 strada 1994 model I have the 916 sps / 996R and they are both beautiful in looks and sound and the ride is like Cindy crawford
Ive seen your idea of design elsewhere and chintz springs to mind. Double ner with double no returns.
