I would be interested to know if they put any of there concepts in front of the people who buy Ducati's. Tim - if you're reading perhaps you could comment ? IMO the latest 999r looks pretty good, the swingarm is better proportioned than the original design and the high spec components keep you attention away from some of the awkward areas of the design. When I first saw the original 999 I couldn't believe it escaped from the factory with some of the design irregularities. I am planning to buy a bike next year, if the new Duke is not my cup of tea I'll buy an RS250 Honda for a track bike and wait another 5 years ..... I am really looking forward to see what is delivered ! |
