I looked at this one and test rode it before buying mine privately - it is at V&J in Bridgwater, Somerset.

It is a '99 model (same as mine) so it has Showa front end rather than Ohlin's (and looks better for it IMHO). It runs well enough (though I'm no expert) but it isn't very tidy I'm afraid.

The asking price for it on MCN is £7999. Go and havre a look and a test ride and haggle hard with them if you are interested - they have had it for well over a year and are desparate to sell it. Back in November I negotiated with them and got them down to £7499 with a free full service from Riders (Ducati dealer just up the road).

On balance though, I would say if you ARE after a 996 SPS then there are better ones to be had at better prices if you are patient.
