Improvement or not?

:puzzled:

dont like any aspect of it.

side view looks like a japwhatever

front lights look horrendous as does the rear can.

not a fan

Herb 17-Jan-2006 10:13

Awful. I for one think the 999 is a great looking bike and one that I aspire to. That body kit would ruin it.

andyb 17-Jan-2006 10:16

I have seen worse............:D

Carbon749 17-Jan-2006 10:29

Front looks like a JAP bike :mad:

I like modified bikes, but, don't like this one at all.:barfy:

khu996 17-Jan-2006 12:59

It looks just like what it is...a home made bodge up!

Twinfan 17-Jan-2006 13:29

Too Japanese looking for me.

itexuk 17-Jan-2006 13:30

Sorry but not my cup of tea. Think the 749 / 999 look great as they are.

Scotty Monster 17-Jan-2006 13:32

andys 900ss 17-Jan-2006 13:33

Martinp 17-Jan-2006 17:38

clint 999R 17-Jan-2006 19:19

who in there right mind would change a italian masterpiece into a jap lookalike theres some mad people out there:mad:

Rossco 17-Jan-2006 19:30

tricky 17-Jan-2006 20:12

I think someone has been drinking too much peroni at that design shop.

swannymere 17-Jan-2006 20:15

:saint:Already looks as dated as one of them antique 748/9** thingies,what's the point.:puzzled:

soloman 17-Jan-2006 20:42

749/999 looks fantastic as it is, just a shame there aren't more of us out there who are willing to pay for the privilege of owning a bike built with sole & emotion in mind rather than pound notes!

lets face it were ever we go everyone looks, admires and asks questions, but, they "just can't justify the running costs"

If you buy a Ferrari................It ain't gonna be cheap!!

Rant over.........749/999 looks good just the way it is!

Which Italian masterpiece would that be then? Surely the 999 can't be described as a masterpiece?

Totally f**k up more like..............:lol:

KeefyB 18-Jan-2006 07:22

Oh dear,....this is turning into one of those ugly 999 threads,..........BORING!!

Mad Dog Bianchi 18-Jan-2006 07:29

i think it looks the dogs :burn:

I think "Pep" has got it wrong big time. Trying to aim for those that prefer the iconic previous model. A very negative move to my mind. I bought my 749 more on the basis of the updated spec of the bike but at the time preferred the look of the 748. However the new shape has grown and grown on me....and no offence intended but now I like the 9 series way more in the beauty department!:cool:

Ditto mate. Some of the 748/9** purist haven't spent enough time looking at the bike:bouncy::devil:

bike mad 26-Jan-2006 02:11

yes a Italian masterpiece, it take time but the 999 pulls the looks,
:flame::burn::burn:

veetwinducati 28-Jan-2006 10:49

For anyone that might be interested...the company behind that is called Radical Ducati over here in Madrid.:puzzled:

Half man half mole 29-Jan-2006 13:17

Ugly. ugly, ugly.......!

Mole :rodent:

VanDaMauler 30-Jan-2006 19:41

It looks like a Honda cbr600rr and I actually like it.
I never liked the 999 shape, but they are gonna sort it next year, massive over haul along with the 1200cc engine, things look better for Ducati already...:)
