Why does everyone have a beef with the mirrors? I just dont see what the problem is or what the difference is between the 749/999 and other sports bikes I have ridden such as the ZX6R and the RSV1000R. yet only the 749/999 comes in for criticism in the press.
Its simple, wear a very tight fitting jacket, which works for me or just flick your elbow out and look thru the gap, which also works for me. You can see fine.
Same about the fuel tank range.....its a sports bike not a tourer.....
sometimes we can all be a bit too picky...design inevatibly means compromise, those good looks dont come for free I am afraid.
Removing the panels from a 916 or 999 is a doddle in comparison with a ZX6R, which has 13 allen bolts per side.749/999 has 4 DZUS clips, 2 studs, 2 allen bolts and 4 half turn clips total. It takes all of 5 minutes to get both sides off.
So come on give some credit where its due, Ducatis have some fantastic desgn features!!
