  1. Hi guys,
    Since I was young was dreaming to own a 998 in one day..
    Well this day has arrived(read I got the funds :))
    If anyone know one for sale in good condition please drop me a message.

    Seen some on ebay..that Japanese import seems nice, are the Jap bikes same specs as UK?

    Many thanks,
    Alex

  10. Yes my sps will be up for sale in the new year pm if interested and il send you the details.
     
  11. Might be selling my RSV-R Factory and my MV750F4S but keeping the 998 :)
     
  12. Then I apologise and take it all back. Sure I saw you post a while back you were considering letting the 998 go, must be to many sleeping pills.

  17. I've owned both: a new 998S back in 2002 and my current bike is a 996.

    I sold my 998S in fury at Ducati reliabliltiy (I got a Friday bike, off road for 5 months - brand new! - JHP had to strip engine down to find the scored bores... and then a week later the clutch failed and stranded me again...).

    Swore never again, but after 10 years of resistance I gave in after I kept thinking about my amazing track experiences on her at Almería and other places... They are to die for when they are working well!

    So when I bought my 996 I gave the engine top a rebuild, and suspension overhauled. Called a Full Monty, to Grunter Spec (new cams and lightened flywheel I think), developed by Sigma Performance and then Snells took over the concept. @PGP can do them - he's ex Snells and did mine.

    So another option is get a 996 or 916 and have this done... even a 998 is getting on by now!
     
  18. "I can hear the dogging"...any good?....for the reservoir I mean.

  19. It's a beauty - if it's still for sale in spring I might try and acquire the Reservoir Dogging establishment for sure :smileys:
