..not a bad bike in my modest opinion!!
..well..I am the proud owner of a 999.. I did try the F4a couple of times - one on a track (Donington) - and I like it...
It is not a daily use bike (as it is not the 999..) - in my modest Italian opinion is another (also the 999..) a "sunny place bike"... made in Italy for Italy. Also Italians are used to things that are not working properly :-) ... so it is easier to accept some "problems"...
Powerwise is strong... frame and brakes are good. You feel really up sitting on the bike - it reminded me my dirt bike !! and I agree that tall riders can have troubles - The look after years is still beautiful.
My friend didn't have ANY problems in his 10.000 Kilometers since 2005.
It is like a Ducati 999. You like it or not. You buy it because you want it..not because is a commuter bike, problem free , easy and cheap in maintenance...
If money was not an issue, surely was in my garage with the other..
