Re: 996R vs 996RS
The 996R is a 2001 model with the 998cc Testastretta engine. The 996RS is the 2000 model with the 996cc engine. Neil Hodgson in WSB rides Bayliss' 2000 racebike while Bayliss, Xaus and Bostrom ride the 2001 998cc Testastrettas. 996R = 2001 Factory machines, 996RS = 2000 Factory machines.
