Jump on it!
The price is great and the Desmo Porsce reputation is a tie braker, get it man, get it!

Not a bad Price. I would ask them if they have the wings that go to the bodywork. I see the holes for them. If they don't have them I would have them lower the price. Also, the extended rear throws off from the orignial R look. I guess that is just me knitpicking, but that is how I am about my bikes.

Its a bit on the high side I feel. Yea its the last model, yea its got the fancy shock and stuff. Maybe $15k even, that is about what its worth.

hi guys, just curious, so please dont take this question the wrong way. For that price you could get a 1098s or a base 1198 base for around that price. What is the reason for wanting the 999r. is it bc it is a r model, the performance parts, or is it bc you prefer the 999 over the 1098/1198.

The R's are always special imo - there's a 1098 on every street corner

sorry if Im being a bother but could you expand on your comment. It may sound a little strange but this is very interesting to me, as to what is appealing about these two bikes. thanks in advance
