in 2004 and 2005 only twinfan. 2003 have grey frames.

Me also.

Not convinced all as it seems.

Has anyone asked about the head light unit? Or more pictures?

I would, but i can't read my the replies at work

So is he saying it does have the multiple frame mounts? If we say the frame is nor 999r then what exactly is R?

If we say ok it is a 999r frame and logbook, where did ALL the 999 bits come from? There an awful lot of std 999 bike there, sourced from rta damaged stuff? Bought new?? Another source??

Why take evrything else off for racing and put them in a different frame? What's wrong with the 999R frame?

Sounds like a re-built write off. Sold all the goodies (Ohlins, carbon, magnesium etc) and put on used standard stuff. May even done it on an exchange basis? My Ohlins for your Showas plus cash etc.

Probably a decent enough 999 if it's been rebuillt correctly, but not what it looks like. What spec 999 motor has it got? Are they sure it's not a 749? What about the ECU, keys etc

So, the frame is grey like a 2003 R, and it appears to have the R's two-setting foot peg setup instead of the standard model's multiple settings, but the swing arm, the Bip rear sub-frame, the Bip seat itself, the fairings, everything else is from a standard 999. The engine and exhaust, all from a standard 999?
At what point do you say, "It's not an "R", it's a standard 999?
I have to ask ... why?

so to sum it up;

its a standard 999 and he's selling a 999r number plaque as well. simple. :D

'03 999's have all got the same swing arm, only '04's that changed.

Now check the frames, u will see said bike has an R frame. Point where it meets the rear sub frame the frame is differant to a 999bip or 999S.


helped if i added this! :lol:

Hmmm, think you might be right there.:(

Flanker's right.

Again though, I ask "why?". :puzzled:
