I think they did a piss poor job, sorry Glenn!!
The 916 in my opinion was the sexiest bike of its time, cutting edge design even, The 999 was always going to find it tough after such a successful model, I think it pulled it off reasonably well, again cutting edge design.
The 1098, there is nothing remarkable about the bike, the only thing redeeming is its new motor, its like they just took 1 step forward and 2 steps backwards.
The 1098 should have been the 916's successor, then everyone would have been happy
I wonder what 999's are going to be worth now, they will be a unique model?
It will be interesting to see what unfolds.
