  1. Its all about the power delivery!,ride a 996 strada and you have a bench mark ,748 much the same just less power but a bit more nimble , 996SPS and this is where you say FOOK IN' HELL as I said all about the power and the way it comes in........ by the way there is a foggy rep in Carl Harrisons (Suffolk) for about £11-12K

  10. Me likes. I think an early one with the old style decals is going to be a must.

  11. Can anyone beat this bloke?

  12. Well Roge it looks like you`ve won the prize
     
    #32 Major, Apr 26, 2012
  13. Ha ha - wasn't looking for a prize but if any one is looking for a very early 916 in relatively unmolested condition I would be open to sensible offers.

  14. I've been a looking today, oh yes. Seen two I like, a nice low mileage 996SPS and for £3k less an early standard 916 biposta with the old decals.

    So dilemma is - Old decal clad 916 which I like the original look of, but is only a standard biposta OR for £3.5k more get later version 996SPS.

    Well decisions decisions my Ducati friends, what would you do?

  17. Yeah chap I was speaking to mentioned later 996SPS engines are better on the road than the earlier ones.
     
    #37 Major, May 18, 2012
  18. That's 2 -0 to the SPS then.

    Thanks chaps.
     
    #38 Major, May 18, 2012
  19. I'd go for the SPS, but then I'm biased.

  20. I am more than happy with my 916, I would probably trouser the £3.5k.....
