  3. GLWS.... and WOW is that what they are going for now.... must give mine a polish...
    Super clean bike, especially for 13K miles.
    It may be worth putting the service history up... as that is critical on this sort of machine.
    Dates and mileages.

    PS - Exige - that must be a record:D
    I actually typed a footer on the ad asking for comments on the colour to be PM'd direct to me or put on a separate thread from the ad, but I deleted it so as not to tempt you lot and your red/yellow fanatical views. Then your response came within one minute!! But v funny so no probs :joy:

  7. Nero...

    That is a lovely Matrix and while they seem to divide the Ducati community I've always really liked them. Wish I had the cash / space.

    GLWS!

  8. Excellent, do you want me to send you some pics of the Black Ducati Indiana I once owned????? :p:p

    Seriously, the pearl green looks great in the sunshine.

    Forgot to add, in 2 weeks time my 998 will classify for Classic Insurance with a lot of companies (15 years old)

    Cheers

  10. Cheers - I was expecting the colour debate, not a problem and always makes interesting reading of others' views.
    A very long story, but I don't do red - I don't particularly have a dislike just an old personal superstition so I try and avoid them but am conscious most people on here have a red machine!
    I've owned over 20 Ducatis over the years including yellows, blacks, Senna greys, FE silvers and only had 3 red ones (900ss, 749s and a Pani).

    Some years ago I posted an ad on here for my Yam R46 Rossi Limited Edition (half black half yellow with a weird sun/moon pattern) and really had some nasty comments from people slating it, actually turned into a bit of a slanging match and the moderators removed a lot of comments!
    Again, divided opinion but I bet in years to come when the old Goat has retired there will be people scrambling for them.

    I don't expect such behaviour in relation to the iconic 998 - besides, it's nice to be different :innocent:

  11. I fired one of those up in the showroom years ago, it started normally and then the start cycle immediately repeated, must have been a glitch.

  13. It's the wrong colour mate, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that makes it worthless :(
    I'm a nice kind of guy who could do you a favour though :p
     
  14. Lol :joy:
    Cheers Harry - you're a super generous guy!
