gutless, thats fighting talk:P that would have been the last statment to make. If anyone went on the 996R and found it wanting in the "go" department, then they should be racing, for us mere mortals that motor is way above what we can use. For me when it comes to buying a bike I go with what I like, not others.
all that said and done go get yourself that 996R, with the money you will save you can buy yourself some "go"
