Strange how the peeps with the newer bikes say its crap, and those with the older models say its an improvement. Could knock the price of a 999r down to something sensible. :o:o:o

Like many things the 999 looks better in real life than in a photo, to me it just looks more mechanical than the 748/9** but when you study the shape of the different parts it truly is another Italian masterpiece, i'd have one if I had the money.
The pro racers say it's an improvement too (apart from Chili).
To beat the I4's with a V2 is a great acheivement and I don't want to see a championship without both.

The mock up photo's look orrible.

Like everything else that's said on here it's just opinions.

They can't, they'd all be out of a job then!

Don't get me started on Richard Hammond, of all the bandwagon jumping, turncoat, I'll present absolutely anything on TV nowadays,wannabes to give the job to. MCN chose the numero uno.
The last five or so pages are ok (if you can filter the bollox from the hype) the rest helps fill the recycle bin!
