998R @ 30 put you off  Come on mate you want a scooter for that sort of thing you don't see 998R's in the Ducati brochure with shopping hanging off the bars pootling around town. I would love one but can't afford the service side. I reckon it would give my ten a serious run on track.

you wouldnt want one mate ..as for the 30 ..i ment it just wouldnt ride at 30 smoothly u had to keep pulling the clutch in to stop it stalling .... i paid 13.5k for mine rode it 12 times and swopped it for a 04 ten the week they came out ......... at the time i had a gsx1400 aswell i used to go out on that and leave the duke at home it was that bad ............

the 24 K ducati also has a bigger bore engine than the standard one 

Best to take no notice of the 'numbers' on the range-leading Ducs.

916SP was a 955 then 996cc

998R was actually a 999 Testrasetta motor.

1098R is 1198cc.

The 996/8R is a thing of beauty imho

Following on from this, a 1098 isn't even 1098cc, it's 1099.

Ah.

Fair do's.

Not like Ducati to make things simple is it?

I used to own a 996S (same year as your R) - some of the earlier models came with full SPS motors (minus the high-lift cams) as they were lying around the factory so they fitted them to save space.

Mine was a later base-model S but the earlier ones (exactly the same on paper) had more power and torque.

Just not fair

The new 10R has an option of factory mini indicators for the front and a seat cowl.

mini indicators on the mirror  ?    or else where?

Still dont like the look of the NEW zx10r looks so ugly with indicators, as for the exhaust it would have to GO  !    I wounder if you make it go under the seat
