Looking good. Anybody know of any quick ways to earn a few grand. Desperate measures, so legal or otherwise.

Just looks like a 916 with aftermarket front and cans to me.
Typical american-style hype about no-big-deal

It`s a natural development of the 916 as the 999 should have been, thank god Ducati listened to peoples comments on the 999 and realised there mistakes.

This bike is going sell in large numbers and will become an object of desire as was the 916 series.

erm...........I find my 749R an object of desire

as do many other with their 749/999 series

perhaps that's why I bought it

It was finally the 749/999 model that tempted me away from Jap stuff after 20 years, not the 916+++ range

however I do appreciate all the models in some way

So I guess what I am saying is, each to their own, would be a dull place if we all liked exactly the same things

I agree this is what the 999 should have been like. The toys on it are amazing but they haven't published a price yet. If it looks a little like the R1 then that's not a bad thing because that's what everyone seems to like at the moment but it's still got plenty of Ducati style.

It's growing on me. I just hope it's not going to cost 20K and be completely out of my league.

Gotta agree - when I first saw the 749 / 999 it made me really want one and stay away from the Jap alternatives...

Ziggi, I think I read base model is £12k and next one £14k?
