Sums it up perfectly really. Wish I could have had some time to fettle the suspension and have another go.

I've had the pleasure of running one round a track for the day, and have to say I was mightily impressed.

But I haven't bought one.

Yet.....

As far as looks go, I'll stick with the 916 shape, but, if I had the cash, I'd buy a 999S tomorrow, as the ride's exceptional, and the motor's awesome. But I can't justify buying another and keeping mine, especially with my other little project underway..

... what wrong with the legend: "Built for racing first, looks first!" :puzzled:

Yeti,

You know the solution.......................................... ...... 'Stretta mota clothed in that classic wrapper.

:D:cool::smug:

Will anyone remember this post in 2025 when Ducati launch the 916 Classic series, desmoseidici motor with 916 lookie likie frame and bodywork:o

Ray

when the 999 came out I liked the 916 shape more but now I like the 999 more it grows on you and makes the 916s look dated. I now love the look of the 999 that much that it gets cleaned every time I go on it as it doesnt look half as gorgeous with even a few flys on it,
sad or what, I think I need help, I think it's a titanium defiency
:flame::burn::burn:

I love the looks of the 999 thats why i bought one:D

Narrow minded tut tut ....... :devil:
