748/996 versus 749/999 versus 848/1098
Old shape always did it for me, iconic bike. 999 new shape never hit the mark with me, now new 1098 is a modern looking 996, so back to familiar territory - gorgeous bike.
However, I think the new 1098 now makes the old 996 look really out of date and funnily enough, the 999 shape now looks better as a result - different looking bike altogether, but strangely more appealing for some reason.
I saw a bog standard 996 the other day, nice nick, but no extras and rather plain looking. Also saw a very trick looking 749 and it looked lovely. I wouldn't have looked twice before the 1098 came along.
Anyone else spotted this?
