Improvement or not?
 

Just saw this on MCN's site, better or worse?
: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

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

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

Front looks like a JAP bike :mad:

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

Not !

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

Too Japanese looking for me.

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

i think it might look better in the flesh mcn's postage stamp sized pictures arnt helping

YUK !!!

I'm only just warming to the 749/999 shape...Ask me in another 3 years...:puzzled:

Yuk!!!!!!

Anything has gorra be better than Ducati's current offering.......:lol:

Yeah...but not THAT!:frog::devil:

cackalak...as dick and dom would say...

Dayton 675 springs to mind.

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

not nice at all, whatever are they thinking?o:alien:

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

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

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:

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

Honda right down to the color....nope, let the Itais dow their work...They are good at it.

Needs a good bloody kicking they do

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:

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

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

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

Mole :rodent:

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...:)
