916 Sold 998s Bought Another 916

Discussion in '748 / 916 / 996 / 998' started by Tim K, Apr 3, 2018.

  1. I think the pictures flatter it slightly but I'm please with it so far.
    Waiting for a bike lift to arrive so that I can change a few parts and clean the difficult to reach areas before Nelly gets his hands on it to finish it off with a full service and his magic touch.
    Not even sat on it yet and itching to mate rubber and tarmac :)

  5. Its desperately in need of belts having only been run up to temp for the first time in 6 years. As tempting as it is the potential repair to an SP engine brings you down to earth quickly.
     
  6. Stupid question but why sell a 998 to buy a 916?

  7. Yes, I've been asking myself the same question.
    The thing is, until I have a barn knocked down and rebuilt into the man cave I only have space for 2 bikes / 3 at a push.
    I had really sorted the 998S and it was an absolute joy to ride but the chance of a very early 916SP1 couldn't be turned down so it had to go.
    I guess my rationale was that its easier to find another 998S once the barn is rebuilt but SP1's are quite rare.
    Good question though. Thanks
