Bottem line, the 999 great technology, great engine etc, aweful front end. Lets face it, the 1098 will basically set out to cure all the things which people hated about the 999 looks wise, as well as the obvious power increase, weight reduction etc. The only reason i bought a 996 is because the way the 999 looked, ****, but yeahm each to their own. Iam also going to Milan and have already ordered a 1098S, I have faith Ducati will get things right this time.

This is nothing to do with having 'too much money' or wanted something that will outperform me, it's because I've had to wait years for the 998 replacement, the 1098. The 999 was'nt a replacement, just a blip. Hundreds of 916, 996, 998 owners cannot be wrong.

999 room 101 please.
