| [quote=Gizmo]Sorry, grabbed 2 very worthy points from your post.
Thats the first time I've seen anyone mention the 2 different shape 999's, like you I prefer the first sleeker, lower narrow faired version, the 05 on was a watered down look with "better" ergonomics but it does appeal to more people.

Same here.I have an 04 model and really like the twin vents in the front and the sleeker front fairing,though the new model in black looks good as the colour makes it looks smaller and the lack of vents less noticeable.
Following the 916 was going to be as hard as U2's follow up to the Joshua Tree. The 999/749 may not look as good as a 916,in sme peoples eyes, but it widely considered a better bike to ride, and IMHO still much better looking than pretty much every other current sports bike out there save the MV Augusta, and maybe Triumph Daytona 675.
