Bye,bye 999.

KeefyB · 13-Nov-2006, 18:43

Well its official,production of the 999 is finished,...say hello to the 1098.
4 years production,3 WSB titles.1 BSB and loads of wins in AMA,CIV and Euro Superstocks aint too shabby.

Yeti "Go boil yer head"

There is no such thing as ugly, its just that some things maybe better looking than other's, but then it is the eye of the beholder that destinquish's the like. Get down here and and take a ride out with the BHCN wer'e flooded with 749 anf 999's we all love em for what there are " A worthy bike to be proud of " Now behave or Ill send the boys up

Might nearly have been 2 BSB titles as well!

Pity the 749 hasn't cracked it so well

I wonder what teh replacement for that will be then..?

Fordie, trust me if I still rode on the roads I would. That would be a hoot, however, there are way too many fools and idiots out there so i now confine my two wheeled activities to the track.

That said I did once ride a 999 at Brands, didn't look TOO ugly from the driving seat..........................

Roll on me 1098 (-:
