I'm not sure how much of this bike has been modded beyond the standard S, do Termi's come as standard on the S??

It's the grey frame model with the higher vents on the front nose cone, it also has a chip in the paint work above the head light.

I'm not really in a financial position to get it just yet as I don't really want to trade in my 748 I'd rather stretch to keeping both if I can.

04 S doesn't come with termi's (05 and later did but only steel end can i think)
04 S has radial lever brakes not radial calipers ( stand 999 05 doesn't have either, 05 S has full radial)
04 S has Ohlins forks, 05 999 has Showa,
04 S has Ohlins rear shock, 05 has Showa,
04 S has cast grey swingarm, 05 999 has new welded version.
Power is about the same but I'm not certain if thats the year Ducati altered their power figures as well.

I went for an 04 S at 10K against an 05 999 purely for the suspension, it makes more difference than the swingarm will.

I'd agree with Gizmo - go for the Ohlins bike. Suspension is the best upgrade you can make. However, I would try and get the price down a bit.
