996r is always going to be the first 'stretta engined bike though mate ;)

Never mind Paul.... wasn't wanting a 996R vs 998R competition just a big R Lurve In.

Anyway don't I recollect from an old thread that you sold your 996R??? Always happy to be corrected ..................:-)

Im feelin' the love mate....you can't get much better than an 'R' :D :D

Then happy you can surely be chap ;-))))))) Still in the collection I'm also happy to say although only done 10,000 miles as "er indoors" always wants us to be out on the ST :rolleyes:

The DVLA know how many are regd, andor SORN, but won't know about the bikes that never got reg'd and ended up on track. They don't dish this sort of info out to Joe Public AFAIK.

DUK should know how many they brought into the UK but that won't include all the parrallels or take in to account those subsequently broken for bits of crashed beyond repair. They will probably respond to an intersted Ducatisti.
