  4. in 2001 came the 996R testastretta road bike. homologated for the 996R F01 with 100mm bore testastretta ridden by bayliss xaus and bostrom (factory). in 2002 came the 998R road bike 104 MM bore. the customer spec became 998RS (from 996R F01) And factory became 998F02 with 104mm bore in 2002. I believe.

  6. Yes, but the 996RS was a desmoquatro engine with a magnesium sump and all sorts.. as described by Mr Furry, above the 2001 WSB testa engine bike was F01 the 996R homologated this..

    996RS was desmo quatro
    996R was 998cc F01
    998R was 999cc F02
