999R Good price?
 

I've noticed this '03 999R for sale, Is it a good price? £9500.00
It's cheaper than a 996R that my dad bought recently.

999R prices
 

Given that the 999R are newer bikes, why do 996R and 998R fetch more money on the used market?

Probably cos they're the more desireable styling...

:frog: :frog:

no your dad just paid to much for his old bike.
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

wait till the 999 replacement comes out next year...

the price will go through the floor.

I'm neither a seller (cos I don't have a 999) or a buyer because I don't have 999 money to spare at the moment, so I'm completely neutral.

But I can never get my head round why the price of something plummets because there's summat new to be had. I can sort of understand it since human nature dictates that we always want the latest, greatest toys but from a 'real world' perspective it makes no sense.

A 999R is a cracking bike that offers loads more than I could ever use, so I don't quite get why that is devalued when something comes along with even more that I won't be able to use.

I can stay with most stuff on the road today on my 888, not because I'm a riding god, far from it....it's just that almost every bike that's been produced for the last 15 years is a way better machine than 99% of riders could ever handle.

I have a 996 for the track and a 999R for the road, even though the 996 is set up spot on, it is still a straign on the muscles round the track, where as the 999R is a dream to ride on the track and takes alot less effort to turn in, the only reason i stopped using it was the cost involved in a drop, the 996 parts are cheaper and easer to get hold of on ebay.

Its true we all want the latest toys and money available i will move up next year, however i will be gutted if the resale price of my R has dropped to a point where a 748\996 demands a higher price.

Time will out .... all the Ducati 'R' models depreciate to a level and then sit there with very little movement. This was part of my reasoning when I bought an 18 month old 749r 2004 homologation model. Initial owner has lost all the depreciation and hopefully I've bought it a price that will be stable for the short term.
