new look 999

If you look in the latest copy of T.W.O there is a piccy of a 999 with a modified 916 style bodywork and it looks brill.

you mean it looks like a 916. Don't think it is a pikky of a bike, rather a computer mock-up done by them?

Agreed but i think it looks a lot better than a 999, still I always prefer the look of the 916 series

Anyone gonna scan and post the pic?

not worth the effort posting it. it looks ridiculous. i loved my 916 but you have to move on. the 999 makes the 916/996/998 look sooooooo dated when stood next to each other next to each other. what will all the old schoolers do when a 180 bhp v4 comes out. move over to aprilia or get an sv650 ???

Only if it looks as **** as the 999!

I will scan and post a piccy later but personally i think it looks very good, combining the new with the old, could be a good compromose

What will we do when Ducati releases its V4?

We old schoolers, willmove from one design classic to another and leap frog the 999.
