for me the looks are always a secondary consideration. Why have super model when it rides like a plank.

Sports bikes are bought for a number of reasons, power, looks, and handling amoungst others......
The vast majority of owners (or potential owners) can't fully realise the handling or the power of the bike, but they can all realise the looks of the bike.
Therefore the looks are the main consideration for many, many owners. This is where the 999 falls short.
Its seems there are those that do love the 999 looks, but I'd suggest that these are the actual owners. Whereas there are many who lust after a 996 model and the majority of these do not actually own one.
For the 999, it seems that Beauty is in the eyes of the V(5) holder !!
