Iv got the 999s and after 5mth its starting to grow on me,after stepping off a new gixxer 1000 k3 i thought id made a big mistake regards the power etc,but the handling and looks won me round. Besides theres more to it than that right
749S for me, changed from an Aprilia RSV. The 749S is an absolute blast to ride. The 749/999 series, to me, are also the best looking bikes on sale today. Took a while for them to win me over though, but I love them now.
Just run in new 749s - 5th Duke for me and the best - couldn't be happier with the handling/top-end. Needs a little bit more grunt lower down - think I'll invest in some Termi's and a tune soon.
