Hi, I'm looking to purchase a 2004 Ducati 998s Final Edition that has been imported from Japan (Japan had 111 Monoposto FE's). Are there any country-specific engine restrictions or changes to specifications I should be aware of? I'm in New Zealand. Thanks for any advice.

japan is rh drive, and afaik they were exactly the same spec as au/nz.

Same as NZ

The 998s came with a couple of diff engines. If it is the FE on TM...it has 50mm exhaust so would expect the 136hp deep sump engine.

Thanks kiwi999s. Yes, it's the one on TM. The info regarding the deep sump is very useful and I'm glad the Jap bikes were the same as the AUS/NZ.
