998 OWNERS
I have been in the club for about two years now and been on a few ride outs mainly round Norfolk and the surrounding areas. I have yet to meet anyone else with a 998 and would like to know how many 998 owners there are in the club. I got mine 2 years ago and I'm still in love with it. I had thought about changing it for a 999 but as yet can't make my mind up. The 998 is still the best looking of the two. I test rode the 999 last year which is a very good bike, however, the 999 2005 is better looking with the few changes its had ie red frame, vent out of the fairing and the swing arm. Hopefully I will meet some 998 owners at the Cadwell track day.

I've got one and I love it. Had the DP engine upgrade kit fitted and loads of other extras.

I'm in Scotland though, so a bit far away for Cadwell.
