anyone else noticed how far off the frame/subframe line the exhaust run is on the 1098 ? huge gap between the pipes and the tail, looks like it's hanging low to me, not neat & sexy like the 749/999

shame 'cos the seat and side panels are growing on me, would look sweeter with a tucked in pipe run

Noticed that too first off......maybe could do with a bit of lagging in there.....

Now all these /9's will be going cheap wonder if my spare track day panels will fit them? Would'nt mind one after a bit of plastic surgery. And a different exhaust. Oh wait that would be a 1098 . . . . . . .

Actually I agree with you, if they had stuck with the single sided swing arm I may have been tempted years ago

Have to say, they all look stunning - I'd quite happily have any one of those 3.....

You need to get down to Redhill on a saturday. You'd be surprised how evolution is changing people.
