| used to have a 916 bip and havnt switched back that much but when i did i really did find the 916 much harder to turn and generally it felt heavier and bulkier. the 999 is definitely easier to just hop on and ride, particularly after a bit of a break ie over winter.
i am one of the few that seemed to like the looks from day one, especially in mono form and with the rear number plate area cleaned up.
i also have a 916 next to my 999 at the moment and while accepting the 916/996/998 design is a classic i have no desire to jump on the 916. |
