Anyone near Alton, Hampshire?

  1. Hello, so looking for a Ducati 996 and there is one on mcn website but in Alton, Hampshire. Im in Glasgow so its a bit of journey to go and see it.

    Is there anyone local who could maybe go have a look and see if its legit or not? Or does anyone know the bike?
    Here is a link to the ad. Ducati 996 (2000) Motorcycles for sale | 7587348 | MCN

    Thanks

    Andy

  2. That looks a nice bike. Sorry I'm not near Alton but I'm sure someone here may be local.

  3. I really want the 996S though, with the SPS engine and Ohlins shock. How much different is it to ride? Do you notice the 10 extra horses?

  4. I live near Heathrow and Alton is 35 miles from me. If you fly in I could take you down to see it but I'm not qualified to decide if it is the real deal. It looks good in the advert though. PM me if you want to.

  5. I am not very local, but I was planning on going to Snells the Ducati dealer in Alton anyway. I am happy to have a look over it for you. I owned a 996 for 5 years so I am pretty familiar with them.
    can't do it until next week though as I am away. PM me if you want to take it further.
