I\'ve reached a difficult decision about my 996
 
After a 4 year love affair with my Y2K 996SPS I've reached the very difficult decision that I'm going to sell her!

Any of you that have seen the bike will realise that she's had everything possible done to her at the hands of John Hackett himself, but the time has now come for us to part :-(

I'll need to speak to John, and one or two others, to get an idea about likely re-sale value but thought that I would let any interested members know that she's available.

A very heavy hearted David.

Blimey - and I thought a Ti frame was on the way!!!!

She's an absolute beauty and you must be gutted to be letting her go, but I assume that there's something better in the offing????

Or have you been converted to the land of the rising sun with your CSS riding on Yamahas???

Good luck

It truely is a superb one-off machine. I can understand why you'd be so gutted :(

Time to upgrade to a 999?!?!;)

Dave,
I have seen your bike in the dimly lit underground service area at JHP, was under the impession it was the "Holy of Holys" perhaps Ducati will buy it off you for the museum :D

Don`t sell it! You`l regret it for the rest of your life and will always want it back!........................be warned I sold a Duke one and have regreted it ever since.:puzzled:

Wow :o !!

What is coming in its stead David?

What a shame!

David Cook 17-Oct-2004 13:50

Nothing!

The truth is that I'll do so many School days next year including Almeria, Catalunya, Mondello and Mugello that I'll never have the opportunity to ride the Duke.

I just don't want to be someone that has one but can't use it, so it's time for pastures new.
