Does it matter that much?! Get it at the right price, at he end of the day bikes like his deserve to be ridden as well as looked at. Just get it bought and join us for a cross counties blat....you won't care what it looks like then

+1 Bradders.

Buy it, repair it, then ride it. It's a 749R probably one of the best bikes Bologna ever made.

The best bike :-D

esp with supersport kit....

Yes, it was for me. I wanted to compare to the 749r while it was still fresh in my mind. Made sure I name dropped you Bradders

999r felt much faster, so much so that "it was all over in a few seconds" (stop s******ing at the back) and it felt like there was very little use for all that power on the road. Steering was slower than the 749r, although I guess the 999 could easily be raised at the back to help? Carbon fairings on the 999r were a bonus for bling fans like me

The differential between the 749r and 999r in terms of price is small compared to that of the 748r and 998r (ok, maybe not directly comparable given model years etc) so the 999 seems a lot of bike?

Craig loved his T9R to death, IMHO it's a bit like the Boxster argument; you ooh buy one coz you can't afford a 911!

T9R was the race winner
