Wheels are a slight variation on the 749/999, but he dash is nice:

variation ? backwards & purely aesthetic step morelike !! LOL

wonder if the 1098/1198 R (being a proper R bike - LOL) will be 1198cc & have a proper dual sided schhhwinger ?

function over fashion every time IMHO !

I meant the spoke design...

Is it just me, or does the ever-thinner-spoke design scare the bejesus out of anyone else??? Every time I see a new wheel the spokes seem to have got thinner and the point connecting the spokes to the rim seem oh-so-fragile.... Not so sure I'd feel confident about putting 200-odd-bhp through them!

Cool...Will the 1098 have 200 bhp then

I'm sure that some computer nerd will have sat in front of his CAD workstation and done some finite element analysis on the design. We all know that computer software is infallible so we can all breathe easy

Always makes me laff when I look at the spokes on my Forged Marchi's......still not as thin as wire spokes yet

Soon there will be no spokes at all !

fancy a Duke with a sort of Luke Skywalker Landspeeder type setup myself !
no tyre wear problems !

I`m sure we`ll be safe...

weird, i sold a bike with a dash like that 2 years ago, Honda SP2's have them, the rev counter was useless, way harder to read than a circular gauge I like the idea of having the controls on the bars hopefully its seperate switches, i still can't get used to pushing the starter button when riding on the 999.
