(M)ore (C)rap (N)ews.

Nothing wrong with the front..its the arse they want to sort out (im with jools on hiding those two subframe spars).

tis funny coz everyone I know dont like the front and are OK with the back...

Its like somebody else said,its probably a load of old tosh anyway. Obviously a slow news week and you can only fill so many pages with that 'save our biking' b****s

Wow...hadn't seen the febur fairing until now...It's virtually identical

Always thought they'd made the original 999 look almost Japanese in style. This looks even more so!
Still like the look of the original, dont like those "proposed" changes at all!

Yeah,its a 'pooter generated mock up,but I think it looks great.Where do I sign?

There has been some speculation in the press for a while of a revamp.T.W.O mag run a story of Ducati experimenting with differant headlights a month or two ago.All denied by the factory of course.
I guess all the stories about the 999 racers being slightly unstable are true.I know my 999 was badly affected by the windy conditions this weekend.Red Seb said his 749 was the same.Maybe the air deflectors were to blame?

Have you been talking to my wife?

Not particularly RADICAL is it???
I thought Ducati's design team were fore runners...
Still think it looks dated in the fact that it is "trying" to be japanese....Slap a few stickers on it and "hey Presto".
Mmmm??? Not sure? ...It's "nice" I 'spose!
