  1. I bet Mario would have got a right fucking off his bosses if they ever found out he’d used the Ti rods and all associated / expensive parts when he shouldn’t have.

  7. Ducati did a 998 Troy McClure special?

    I think I remember that bike from the films ‘Calling all Quakers’ and ‘Christmas Ape’.

  8. Ti valves..
     
  9. So could it be correct that the 996R had Ti Valves, Ti Con Rods and Sand Cast Cases and the 998S didn't, apart from some that used up some spare 996R parts hanging around - like the first ones produced that went to the press? :thinkingface:
     
  10. RTFI... the valves are the same part numbers 996r 998s on that parts site ....same as the con rods!
