The 999/749 aesthetics have slowly evolved since the bikes launch.
Take an objective view of the 2006 999 as it is now and you will see that Ducati have listened to their critics and 'adjusted' its looks.
I have had a 748 , 2 * 996's and latterly a 749R.
The 999 looks did take a couple of years to grow on me (and I do think the 749R looks better than any other **9 model)...but I do think that 999 detractors made their minds up on day 1 and will not be swayed.
Its an old tune now......if you like them..you like them...if you don't ..you don't.
Lets see what Milan brings......I fancy a 1098 to keep the 749R company.
