they are just not good looking are they, give me a 749 / 999 anytime.

Only joking, very nice indeed.

Is that frame the same colour as the original 916, looks close? The wheels look a bit 996 inspired or is it my imagination. Clever gestures if they are, Reinforcing the ties between the 916 and new bike?

would have been a lot cheaper to go 999 but it would have to be in race form with day light mot, for me.

the colour is close but not 100% plus its a mat finish with no laquer.

Im just saying its a bit of a bodge. they dont fit properly, hes used smaller bolts through the proper mounts and put nuts on the other side. Just not becoming of a what £14000 bike............
