996 sps or 999
i am in the market to get myself a xmas present and am not sure what to go for both bikes that i am loking at have good and bad points
999= laded with extras new technoligy mor reliable etc but the 999 looks like it is well in the shadow of the new one and is going to drop in price not that much of a problem because i will be holding onto it for along time
996= top of the line bike looks to kill for etc but older and reliable ?? but will hold its money and it will always be a cool bike
what would you go for ?????? and why?????

in what country Tim?
fair do's the 996 SPS is iconic - not appreciating - but the 999 is a better "package" - handling, power, reliability, fun (dare I say it) - all round better.

But if its just looks - 996 is still fairly stunning!

Personally - I would go for the 999.
