Was it a 998? I always thought it was a 996...

For once I admit I am wrong, I did say I stand to be corrected...Matrix 998

Be a first though :P

It could very well have been photoshopped, unless the Agip tank pad has faded in the sun.

But Dizmo, if it's not a mockup, then just consider one thing,

If it was an official colour, would they really have supplied it with a bright yellow Bip pad.

If it's cheap, get it painted red, or black, or green, anything but yellow :)

According to my ladybird book of bikes edited by Steve Berry its a 998, so there. No wonder the bank are telling me their email systems are up the creek.

I tipped the bank off, well I made sure you're up the creek :D

In the film it was a 996, but the retail one was a 998...

Ah ha.... see I thought I was correct (to a degree at least)

Maybe this beige 996 was a used in a film?

Could it have been some sort of time-travel war film? Its got a sort of Afrika Corps / Western Desert look about it

It's photoshopped, and not just because of the washed out effect on the decals.

It's because I'm sure that when you become a spray painter you have to roll up one trouser leg, wear a funny apron and swear that no matter how raddled your brain becomes with thinner fumes you will never, ever, ever paint anything in this colour...not even spraying a turd to make it look lighter or working for Michael jackson

I'm getting a few conscience - pangs that someone has posted on the board for the first time, asking for help and advice, and has run up against a clique (anyone who doesn't have a beige ducati)
