Mood: going for a ride...
JHP in Coventry had (it may be sold) a press bike , if you can catch that between magazine test rides you may be able to get a go on that.

If you can afford one , just buy one , it may seem like a lot of money but they are a giveaway compared to a 999R , and lets just compare them

Special size bore / stroke engine : both
Special frame :both
Special forks / brakes : both
Special swing arm , rear suspesion : both
Race exhaust inc. in price : 999R only
Carbon bodywork : both
Carbon seat unit : 999R only
Magnesium rocker covers : both
Special wheels :both
Larger petrol tank :749R only
Titanium valves :749R only
Magnesium headlight housing :999R only
Vented carbon belt covers : both
Exclusivity :both

At £6k less the 749R is an absolute bargain
