no not keen.

biased i guess as a 999 owner, but when i saw the 999 i thought its a genuine move forward and i was happy to sell my 916 for one.

dont like the 'jap' front and it does seem to a bits of this bits of that. the rear end/cans in particular look terrible.

it will obviously be more powerful/quicker but for me at least that side of things is becoming less and less important. my 999 may 'only' have 147bhp but if i could use all that then i'd be in bsb anyway.

maybe it will look better in the flesh ?!

The nose looks like a modern take on the classic 916, twin lights with air intakes under them...

The way it should look...

Cant wait to see it in the flesh...

Are there any Ducati dealers around anymore? (No, thanks to the 999)

Oh well, I`ll have to go down to Metropolis in Vauxhall in a few weeks

i like the rear of the 999 alot. with the termi's and carbon heat shield i think it looks sweet. but horses for courses i guess.
