Advice needed again. Sorry to be a pain but don't want to buy a bad one. Been offered this 1998 916. For 7k Its got 14k mileage with a lot of history. Not sure about the valve service yet as waiting for an answer. Is this the correct body work for a late 916? Also is the ohlins standard? Think the belts would need doing again anyway. As it's been stood a while. Any advice appreciated .
I think that's a fair price if everything is in order,i.e service work & V5/hpi etc,paintwork can be expensive so take that in to consideration
I didn't think Ohlins rear suspension was standard on a 'bog standard' 916 in 1998, I thought it was Showa. Am I wrong? No doubt someone will know @Exige ? Not sure about it being an SPS, the brake lines are rubber not braided steel. Weren't SPS homologation specials? and therefore would have upgraded/uprated brake lines? I agree it looks like a '98 model from the fairings and wheels.
No idea on these models - better to get the old graphics for future value (unless it's an SPS with Bi Posta seat fitted)

Remember one thing if they've run out of showa suspension on the production line then they'd fit a ohlins unit

No ohlins on the 99 bike, No tank decal ether, I fitted the DP decal to tank, Photo was of bike after I had sold it, Minus Mag Marchesinis/ Floating disks etc, Miss the old thing
The 916SPS also has a 996 engine i Think this bike is simply a 916 Bip that at some time in its life has had an Ohlins shock fitted
