998 Troy Bayliss 998s

Discussion in '748 / 916 / 996 / 998' started by Saalagora, May 8, 2020.

  1. I’ve seen a couple of Troy Bayliss (not Corser! - sorry for typo in heading) 998s reps here for sale in NZ. Apart from the graphics are there any differences from a standard 998s? Also - any idea of how much there are currently worth?

  2. Are you sure it’s corser and not Bayliss?
    They are going for stupid money now. Recently seen them for sale at anything between £14K to £20K.
     
  3. p

    Got my Troys mixed up - at least I didn’t say Troy McClure!

  4. If he can’t edit the title couldn’t a kind mod do it for him?
     
  5. Bayliss reps are standard 998S spec* plus Ohlins front forks. They should also have a Bayliss signature and a plaque; only 300 released, sold via the internet only.

    You should be able to edit your own thread title.

    *Be aware that if the bike was originally a US bought one it would have the lesser powered 123Bhp engine of the non-S variants, but have carbon fibre body work.

  6. 400 released I think.
    And they have upgraded brakes too - Brembo 4 pot.

    More info here - 300 originally planned but I think 400 in the end.

  7. I think the non sandcast cased engines are slightly below the 996R spec. The sandcast 998S cased engines have the full 996R internals. Might be wrong though...
     
  8. 998s steel rods
    996r ti rods

  9. Same bhp though I think 136 for both
     
  10. 998S has the 996R engine inc Ti rods iirc, makes 134hp. 998 engine has different cams & internals, not deep sump and makes 123hp. US version of the 998S had the standard 998 engine as the 996R engine wasn’t permitted in the US.

    Ive been doing research.

    I read a lot.

  15. But the 998S has the complete 996R engine and on the parts lists put up by @LiveFast...... above the con rods for the two are the same part number.
