I have been in the market for both of those
for the
996 SPS 6500 and up
996R 10000 and UP

Can't decide, SPS or SP2!

996R 2001 4500 Miles,top excellent condition yours for £8700.

Got £6k max to spend, so the R is out of my budget, thats why Iam looking at the SPS...

Have you looked at EBAY ? There was a 1999 996 SPS without the ohlins that has just ended, he wanted 6500 GBP but the highest bid was 4600 GBP I think, let me know IF you want the info. IS it hard to get a track bike without a V5 back onto the road ? If it isnt I know of a great one for a little over 5000 !

I just bought that one (an early Christmas present for myself)!

Just a few weeks ago it was on e-Bay for £7,495 but the bidding only reached £6,300. I watched the auction end without a sale several times. I contacted him, went to see the bike and did the deal outside eBay. I have looked at a few, and this is the best example I have seen. It was also conveniently just 20 mins down the road from me!

996 SPS (Ohlins rear, Showa front)
W-reg
7,000 miles, FDSH
2 owners from new
All the standard carbon bits plus some extras (heel plates, clutch cover, scoops, number plate hanger, chain guard, swing-arm cover etc.)
Three part-worn spare tyres
Black screen plus original clear one
Carbon and standard termis
Datatool Alarm
£700 worth of personalised "SPS" number plate
Brand new MOT
Taxed till May next year

Because of the time of year, and because I knew how long he had been trying to sell it, I haggled hard. We settled at £6,000 for the bike or £6,500 with his "worn-twice" Dainese Ducati Desmosedici leathers thrown-in (they just happened to fit me perfectly and I need a set!). He went for the "with leathers" option.

I just wish it wasn't raining

I'm sure its very good, but I would be suspicious either about the year or the reason that Showa forks have been fitted.

All 2000 onward bikes had grey frame, if its bronze then its a 1999 model. All 2000 models were released with Ohlins front and rear. If its got Showa and its 2000, then they have been retro-fitted.
