I don't know what question you're answering, but the question posed is quite clearly "996R or 998R".

If it was;

"can someone who has no real interest in adding any real value to this thread, is trying to justify their overpriced purchase of a 999R and is hurting because their bike has now depreciated to a point where its worth less than a ""996R or 998R"" please respond"

Then your response would have been correct

[keefer]

ouch
that's got to hurt

[andyb]

It just makes me laugh "the first of the testastrettas", " the last to win the wsb, " and so on...................move on!

[Rattler]

I'd move on, but you wouldn't be able to keep up

I had a choice of buying the 996R or the 998R
I brought the 996R, all for the above reasons, eg, last of the 916 - 998 range to win, first of the testa motors. I just liked to 996R more, Its my dream bike and are luckily enough to be able to own one, One of ONLY 2 in SWEDEN
But I doubt you could go wrong with either, no one would complain if they had a 996R or a 998R sitting in their garage .
