I think that when you put a rider on this it's going to look really strange!

I bet it works though!

Just looks minging!!!

sounds like you are talking about the 749 / 999

Is it me or is the crank really high??

The clutch cover and footpeg deflectors look way over the top..... maybe hiding something?

A lot of work and clever design in there and good to see close up

Andy

ps. Dont rekon that catch tray will hold much oil either??

Not that old chat again!!!

You must have been drinkin mate!!

I think my 749R is an absolute stunner and so is the 999 (no surprise)! ......... and you obviously don't like that shape.

But that's what makes the world go round, i'm glad we all like different things - it would be a boring place if we didn't!!

I agree with Tim and Martin.
The seat unit doesn't look right at all, the angle is too extreme. I'm also indifferent about the exhausts, seems very Buell like. The hugger is very long and does look weird, but at that length it must serve a purpose unlike the absurd short DP carbon jobbies.

Good picture Tim.
