| I would be happy with either. Not actually bothered that the 996r did better in WSB and all that. I do prefer the seat unit on the 996r compared to the 998r. Even though the 998r has the carbon seat I just prefer the plain old 996 one. Havent ridden the 998r so I dont know if there much difference between them. Dont know how many 998r exist but the 996r is the one everyone seems interested in.
I bought my 996r off ebay and will not sell it in the forseeable future. Funnily enough the bloke I bought it off has just emailed me asking if I still have the bike and how I'm doing with it. He replaced it with a 749r with fully race kit etc. He did say he still misses the 996r though and has thought about getting one again. I've pointed him in the direction of DSC and mentioned TPs 998R for sale. |
