Hurts me to say it, but I reckon, objectively, the 998r is a marginally better bike (999cc engine, Carbon seat unit). 996r might have the edge, long-term, if bought as an investment (but what a waste that would be). Have you seen TP's 998r up for sale (unless he's changed his mind again)? Two (ahem) careful owners and the fullest of full service historys |
