Wheels are a slight variation on the 749/999, but he dash is nice:

variation ? backwards & purely aesthetic step morelike !! LOL

wonder if the 1098/1198 R (being a proper R bike - LOL) will be 1198cc & have a proper dual sided schhhwinger ?

function over fashion every time IMHO !

I meant the spoke design...

Is it just me, or does the ever-thinner-spoke design scare the bejesus out of anyone else??? Every time I see a new wheel the spokes seem to have got thinner and the point connecting the spokes to the rim seem oh-so-fragile.... Not so sure I'd feel confident about putting 200-odd-bhp through them!

Cool...Will the 1098 have 200 bhp then

I'm sure that some computer nerd will have sat in front of his CAD workstation and done some finite element analysis on the design. We all know that computer software is infallible so we can all breathe easy

I'm not buying one if it don't! It's part of a new EU directive:

EUddvr 126.7.668.9 All cars will have a minimum of 500bhp and launch control
EUddvr 126.7.668.10 All bikes will have a minimum of 200bhp and be so sexy you'll want to take them to Paris and pork them senseless....

Finally, an EU directive for the people.

I would sooner ring it's neck and save the gymnastics for my other half but then whatever floats your boat!
