749/999 looks fantastic as it is, just a shame there aren't more of us out there who are willing to pay for the privilege of owning a bike built with sole & emotion in mind rather than pound notes!

lets face it were ever we go everyone looks, admires and asks questions, but, they "just can't justify the running costs"

If you buy a Ferrari................It ain't gonna be cheap!!

Rant over.........749/999 looks good just the way it is!

Which Italian masterpiece would that be then? Surely the 999 can't be described as a masterpiece?

I think "Pep" has got it wrong big time. Trying to aim for those that prefer the iconic previous model. A very negative move to my mind. I bought my 749 more on the basis of the updated spec of the bike but at the time preferred the look of the 748. However the new shape has grown and grown on me....and no offence intended but now I like the 9 series way more in the beauty department!

Ditto mate. Some of the 748/9** purist haven't spent enough time looking at the bike
