I can imagine the good words from hundreds of people now if it had some sort of GSXR side exhaust ?
what would you rather see ?
not trying to pick on you 999R but what did all those who have been saying they didn't like it want to see ?
something without wheels maybe.
I can understand people saying "Na not for me"
but its the "That's so yesterday, looks like a Kawasaki and a Triumph"
so come on in your opinions what's the best looking bike out there ?

[beancounter]

Not hard - it's the MV

[Sharpy G]

exhaust

flush, twin, slash cut,side exit, cans/box hidden in the bellypan

that'll do 4 me

My oh my,if that was human it would go straight to the top of the list for face reconstruction.It's so bloody ugly and can't decide if it's retro,futuristic or contemporary with end result it's a mongrel.I will never buy one,and if this is what happens when you listen to owners of 9** and 748's they should just ignore them next time.Even a Gixxer starts to look attractive when compared to this abortion.

MHO
1. From the side it's a 999
2. From the front it looks like the RR
3. From the back it looks abit **** and those cans look cheap & nasty.

But going to Milan next week so I will hold back until then....

I have a deposit down on the S (which I can get back if i don't like it)....

[swannymere]

Brave,brave man.

[Nick Pavey]

Maybe it'll look better in black? Maybe it will grow on us?

The front is definately Kwak,748 tank,999 wheels,a real hybrid.

Hate the typeface used,thats about it at the moment.

Have any of you lot seen a an 07 Gixer thou' for real ? Two flipping great dustbins hanging off it.

Resrving judgement and kangaroo court sentence on the 1098 'til I see one one in 3d with my own eyes, no rose tints, no beer goggles
