... I hope they never do it in matt black...

I wonder what the bi-posto looks like...?

How big is the tank?

Will the mirrors work?

I think the ali silencers look better than the carbon.

I'm very, very, very interested now....

Hmmm, a single seat S in gloss black ... now that's a bike I'd have!

Can someone photoshop me that wheelie pic above with a deep, lustrous black fairing?

Puuulllleeeeeeeze?

If you are meaning the pictures & cad drawings in MCN, they look well fake to me, 998 frame, 748/916 side stand, fairing has the cut out for the 999 side stand, tope yoke is from a 748/916, swinging arm from a MV, the list is endless, fake, fake, fake

It's loooking better and better by the minute guys!!

However one blatant faux pas!

WHY WHY WHY only one headlight on? I hate this on "side" headlamps it just spoils the whole balance and symmetry. Will every1 who buys one, plase always ride round on full beam.

thank you

never had that problem on my 749 ! LOL

Lol oh so true.

Stacked headlights look cool with only one on, wheras side by side looks broken...

Ah look at us all harking back to the the classic 749/999's oh how everyone remembers them so fondly especialy in their design, an icon i think ...

I'm not sure, but i think that's because of some stupid law about rodoviary security

If you notice, all the bikes that came out in the last couple of years with dual headlight have one one headlight on (except for the 04 R1 that has 4 - 2x2 - front lights).
