Featured 996 New Project Inbound 996r

  1. Picked up this 996r today. 2 owners from new, last owner had it since 2002! Been all over Europe and over to IOM a few times.

    needs a little TLC, replating, new tyres and service. The original seat unit comes with it, and the Seat is a genuine ATR 998r panel which I’ll be selling along.

    The left fairing has a tiny crack, but it comes with a genuine ATR replacement panel too - and I’ll sell on the one on the bike as it’s still a very nice presentable panel!

    chuffed to finally have my hands on a 996r as that’s always been the one I’ve wanted :)

  5. Major congrats! That's Sam's old father-in-law's 6r, I know that one is special because it still has its original authenticity plaque! Great buy that one with its original/extra parts and recent service. I'm glad a forum member bought it.

  6. Yes! Crawford’s old bike, I met him a few times and yeah it does have its authenticity plaque too.

    it’s a good bike. I just want to give it a minor refresh and get things like the rearsets and levers back to OEM

  7. I think the original 996r seat unit looks much better.
