It just seems that the FE is only very marginally better than the 998S and as soon as it goes out the showroom it will drop significantly in value.

For the same price you can get a 996R with run in milage.

However any 99* is still great to ride and own. So good luck. You will no doubt love it.

With regard to the old technology 99*, new technology 999 argument. If the 999 is sooo good how come the sales are, to quote Ducati are "disappointing" and Ducati Corse have asked the bike to be modified for next year because the aerodynamics are not up to the job. However there is no end to that discussion!

Desmosidici it is then.
