I've had a 749 for a year now and love the bike. However I do wonder occasionaly what a 999 would be like to ride. I think that the extra bit of power would be nice, but then think about the sense in it. The 749 is already a clear license loser if you want it to be.
I've never actually rode a 999 but I do like the fact that you have to work the 749. I used to have a ZXR400 kwak and that was such a laugh giving the engine what for. Gives you the fun sensation at a more reasonable speed.
But at the end of the day you can't beat that little bit more BHP
tricky.
