I agree with Khu, For looks alone the 57mm system well worth it, I found that on my 749R that it did give about 5bhp and in my opinion it has a different sound, slightly deeper as though you can hear the growl developing in the pipes ?? It also has a more hollow mettalic sound ?

Everyone has their own likes/dislikes but I agree that every time someone mentions a 749R there are the comments about how good the 999 is in comparison, hell they are all way to fast for any one of us to take completely to the limit and again in my own opinion and experiences there is no other bike that gets the attention a full carbon faired 749R recieves from young and old alike.

Some say the 749/999 is ugly, from where they get that from is beyond me, I loved my 748/916/996 but in comparison now even though they are still an icon in the biking world they look so dated when next to a 749/999.

If you can afford the system then go for it, you do what you want to do not what someone else thinks you should do .
