For Sale 996r

I wish we were still in that era. Loved it!!

 

Colour coded mirrors were a factory option, at extra cost of course. Andy

 

Can’t remember they were a factory option. Well let’s not start that discussion. Red is 998 era.

 

May have been delivered with the bike to be fitted by the dealer but most definitely available to specify. Andy

definitely black GLWS from #009

 

Have you not see the thread,if you had a time machine.

 

I have several bikes, incl a 02 998s to dream back to that era in the shed

 

It was certainly a special period and will not be matched by anything new from the factory ever,but saying that i wouldn't mind a go on that superleggera.

 

@Oldrat out of curiosity how are you getting on with sale,any offers yet.

 

I went to see this bike some time ago and I can vet that it is lovely indeed. Very original - really minor things that would not be original (eg. mirror / screen) but that's really no big deal and it is for the most of the picky to go and change those. IMO red mirrors just as good and the standard screen on the 996 was always too low for anything else than esthetics. Even racers used taller ones except maybe Foggy.

I would have had it but could not pass on a 888 sps. I would still be interested but I need to replenish the account first and business needs to be doing good (which is challenged right now). So, I am afraid that I could not get it at this time.

All the best with the sale.

 

Have we seen your fabulous triple 8,..i'm sure your aware but i've been after one for sometime.

 

No, but I have not seen her either yet. It is still a jhp as I am returning her largely to original. From one lockdown to house move and the next lockdown, I have not managed to get there.
I also need to rebuild an SP4 which I might consider selling eventually. It is a minter though, so wish I could keep her, but might be hard to justify, especially if I want to get a 996.

 

So many bikes we desire in life but the purse strings won't stretch that far.

 

I have had the pleasure of seeing this beauty in the flesh, the bike, not Brian.
it’s a beauty, shame I don’t have the funds otherwise it would be tucked up in my garage.

i can honestly say im quite happy with my collection now.

Can’t believe the comments about the mirrors. For me this is the most desirable of the 916/996/998 bikes.

 

Hey you, if i'm ever over your way i'll pop into see this wonderful collection & start salivating,but i've to say over a period of time we do chop and change things around like screen savers etc..........so never say never in my book.

 

More than welcome to pop over mate anytime
