I recall reading exactly that. See the discussion @ https://www.ducatiforum.co.uk/threads/998s-final-edition.32931/ E.g. DucRider's comment that: '998S FE, same as S version, except full ohlins and not all sand cast, they used the left over parts for this one'
Totally agree with all the above. Still is and probably always be the most beautiful bike ever built! Because it was the last of the Tamburini range, they’ll have tried to use up all their stock from earlier models before manufacturing new.
