My brother in law has just got a 996 recently so hopefully will be getting a comparison soon.

As for faster...? Will let you know when i get on the roads i know.

The bike was alot more responsive to the right hand when winding the power on, revved up in no time, so must have been going alot quicker alot sooner!

As for Alan, i can't recommend him enough to anyone.
He has been a star bloke, passionate about the work he does and doesn't charge enough for the work and time he puts in to satisfy the customer.

I won't be going anywhere else for engine work etc in the future, even though it's a 4hr round trip for me.
