i dont dislike the new bike i just dont think it is a leap forward like it should be apart from the engine that is i bought my 999 because i thought it was a completly new and different bike from my 748 and it was i just dont think the 1098 is. think the the rear end on me 999 is like nothing else out there twin pipes (r1 zx10 bmw)

the 749/999 rear, where form follows function AND looks good, a great piece of design IMHO

Yep,after reading all the b.s in MCN,I went out in the garage to look at my 'ugly','unloved' and now obsolete bike.....


Fook me,what an awesome machine,......I love my 999S to bits.

GO KEEFY....COULDN'T AGREE MORE !

Lets start a splinter group !!

exactly - if you like it enjoy it, you'll probably still be quicker than your m8 on his 1098. Just that when he gets in the bike park 2 minutes after you, don't be too upset when everyone looks at his bike not yours.
