[Ducati] Salvaged Title

[Harlyn Jenkins]

This one has the 5 spoke mag Marchsini's on it, Termi exhaust, Corbin seat,
and lots of tastey CF bits, but I think you are right.  I have been going
back and forth on if I should get the bike - I guess the answer would be no
if I can't even decide.

Go with your gut - right?

Not worth it.  the 99 came with the brembo wheels and I picked up a 996S 5
years ago for 7500 with clean title.  I've seen 996 around here go for 8-9k
with ohlins forks.. I'd pass on this one if I were you.
