| If they drop a LOT of weight and make it a fair bit faster, i'll have one. Not that worried about the looks, I love my 05 999s but it's bloody heavy getting it in and out of the van/garage and I would like something a bit quicker.
However I think that single swingarm, pointy twin lights and twin exhausts would be a step backwards too. I had a 748 and loved it in it's day but they look a bit retro now. I think the 999 is very bold but they shot themselves in the foot by launching the model in less desirable colourways and specs. If they had introduced the models as they are now (red frames, black wheels, more power) then maybe they would have been a hit?
Might go to Milan and check it out, anyone up for a ride there? ****, could be wet and cold though... |
