Correct Pedro, although both the 996 and 998 only had a year each at the top end of racing. The 999 has been around now 3 years, so yes it's more successful, but a lot less desirable. Prices and changes have proved that.

The 996R would be my choice. Although as Jon has put it, if you've been there and done that, and want a top flight Duke, you have little choice. So maybe, the 999R is a good bike, just not a pretty one.
