i think it's a major step backwards. i thought they'd jump on the 'mass centralisation' bandwagon for the next machine and get rid of the underseat exhaust. Mr Buell may have a point.
the 999 is the first road bike with an aerodynamic front end. It comes to a point and thats what makes it for me, the 1200 is of the old light design and aint got a point, so 1200 yes but with 999s looks. the world will catch up it's just a matter of time.
