The seller makes no mention of mileage or maintenance. The asking price is over two-times what KBB is for a regular 998 base, but this bike is hardly close to stock. Whether you find the asking price ridiculous or inline depends on if you’d prefer to have a mid-mileage 998R or a heavily modified 998. The seller is asking 998R money for a 998 base with a ton of add-on’s–We’ll see if he can recoup some of those costs!

Considering I just picked up a 998 Bostrom with low milage (3000k) for under 11k I would think that this bike will be with it’s loving owner till the end of time if he doesn’t drop the price by about 6 or 7k. Sorry the market will not pay you back for your bling! Just my 2 cents…but I believe I’m not that far off base. Nice bike though….
An SPS, or 996R or a 998R would be worth a lot more than a base 998 with modifications [even with the extent of mod done to this bike] because it will never be a 996R or a 998R. 996R’s are around 15k but the 998Rs would be 20k [low mileage] – SPSs can be had for around 12k. I have seen the 998s Bostrom also in the same range.
It is hard to recoup investments…better off selling the bike stock and then selling the parts..

Pete’s probably right about the price drop required, even though this bike has been faaaaar more than just “blinged out”. With it’s hot cam, HC pistons, carbon bodywork, proper Ohlins forks and racey wheels… this bike should have waaaay more performance than any USA spec 998S, Bostrom or otherwise, so to someone I’m sure it’s worth more than anything less than a 998R, but that’s a real small market.
I’ve been looking at this bike since early last week…I just can’t see spending that kind of money on this bike. It is awesome but the fact is you just never get your money back out of a bike. I’m guessing this won’t sell and he’ll have to keep it forever. Unless he wants to sell it for 12 grand or less. I just saw a 2005 999R sell for 13 with 4 or 5k miles on it.
The previous owner of my bike was in a similar spot…mine is a 916 with 15 grand in mods done to it. I paid 5 thousand for it. The guy who built it understood that he was throwing his money away on mods.
He says he’ll take 13 thousand….that is alot of money, but I guess if you really, really want a 998 with all of those mods. I’m sure its a quick bike….beautiful too.
did he sell it? ad is down
It says he’ll consider any reasonable offers. Doesn’t hurt for someone who’s in the market for a beautiful 998 to low-ball and see where it goes from there. This example has a lot of stuff on it, even if he got his asking price, he’s lost a good chunk of change.
She sold for $14k and now resides in Alberta Canada. Gorgeous 998.
