I thought the "S" had the same engine as the 999 but with Ohlins and Marchesini. The "R" has the higher compression engine with Magnesium instead of alloy (except in the wheels) - and carbon fibre + Ohlins.

06 appears to be the same engine & gearing wise:

All the 999 range are testastretta engines..........its just that they are 998cc!

The R is the only true 999cc with a different bore stroke combination.

The range of horsepower is obviously relative to the price!

If you want to compare the 2004 models :

"S" and "Standard"

"S" and "R"
http://www.ducati.com/bikes/my2004/d...rison&x=8&y=14

The bore and stroke / compression differs considerably with the 'R' and other models.... and still does on the "06".

Is that at a dealer?7k seems a bit pricey.The differances are a more powerfull deep sump motor and Ohlins suspension/steering damper.On the road tho the differance is negligable.
What model year 'S' are you thinking?The big changes came in '05 btw.(More power,'R' style bodywork and deep swingarm etc)
