| On a more serious note, having ridden a 999r and a 998r back top back albiet on the road at a moderate pace I find the 999 steers like a 600, very light and flickable but there is less body wieght over the front and I am getting less feel through the bars from the road surface. maybe this is a deliberate trade off flicakbility over maximum lean angle stability??. Personaly I prefer the plugged in feeling on the 916/996/998 to the sitting on top feeling of the 999 but from the 200 miles I have riodden so far I probabley could lap faster on the 999
