So you can see the 2005 999R on www.ducati.com. It's got a new 150bhp plant and new upper fairing and suspension components. It's homologated for the US AMA championship and is only available in America right now, but it will be coming to the UK next year. It's rumoured that they're going to remove the upper fairing vents in all of the 999 range. What do you think to the new look? Thumbs up or down?

(Personally, I liked the old version -- the front looks really weird now!)
