RIP 996
 

Looks like my bikes been writen off. The engineer put it as a Catagory B. So she will never grace the road again. Been offered £4800 and the option to buy it back for £200 (That has to be the Worlds Cheapest 996).So atleast I can build a trackday tool and stay within the Ducati Fold.

May just buy a Universal Jap Bike for the road. Any ideas on what to get for £4800 was thinking CBR 600RR
I'm only 5'6 so nothing huge.

:(

a sad day!!!

hmmm... sure you dont want a duke for the road as well? i know where there is a nice one going....

Wouldnt happen to be a yellow 748R by any chance!

maybe..... :roll::burn:

I've obviously missed something, what happened? are you OK?

What model, year, reg, mileage etc was the bike and i'll chack the trade price if that helps.

Good luck with getting it and yourself sorted.

Go on then send me all the details. Honestly as soon as I have Money to Spend on a bike Lily is there to help me. I'm getting flash backs from last November

Its a 1999 T 996 Bip 11500 miles. Retail is circa £5300 Trade is at £4800. I'm happy with it considering the buy price back to myself.
Cheers

Have you haggled with the insurance company yet ?
£4800 for a 996 in this condition you must be mad, you know how it goes.

Hope you get sorted out, its hard to Knock a 600rr

I could haggle, However it has Cans that are not stamped with a kite mark and it has a small reg plate. So his insurance company can make it very difficult. Is it really worth the hassle for maybe an extra £1000 or so.
Dont forget I still own the 996 with all its trick bits.

I've never riden the 600rr but they do seem to be the bolox of a 600

Mr C

If you want a 600RR try John at Hunts Motorcycles in Manchester on 0161 432 1303, top bloke who will sort you a good deal on a new or used one. Tell him Shaun sent you coz he won't have a clue who or what BDG is!
