Is it a 2003 r then as i thought the 04 came with that?

If it is, good price?? ;)

Andy,

its a new 03 model on a 04 plate, was going to buy lapman's 998r special but i haven't been able to sell my 996r so far so i'm chopping it in for 999!
they had a couple going for 16999 which as you can imagine at that price sold straight away!

[andyb]

yes good value..ish.
I had a similar deal with mine, and the price to swap with my trade in value, made it an offer i couldnt refuse.

You have obviously ridden with the genuine 999 engine, buzzin aint it. I thought completely different to the others?

[chillo]

yeah i thought the stock 999 felt like it had a much smoother pick up.

Is there actually any differences between the 998 testastretta's and the 999 model engines? i didn't think there was?

[andyb]

998bp 998s 999 999s are all the 998cc engine.
your 998r and 999r are the 999cc short stroke buzzn motor!!

[chillo]

yeah, i know... maybe i should start a new thread.
sorry!
