Pierre T. was way ahead of his time and beyond the scope of most CONSUMERS. I have the 05 999R and still peek at it in the garage to see if I really do have one. Am I Casey stoner? no. Do I need all this performance? Mabey. Do I find myself laughing like a maniac in my helmet? Frequently.

I even would go to say it is better than my MV SPR and will be a much sort after bike in the future due to the short production run no mater whst the critics say. I will never sell mine. Those who say it is a failure in some ways you are correct in sales etc. but for pure riding trill and enjoyment keep it on the pipe @ 9000 RPM it will only be your ability that limits the machine then imagine the R if you are honest with your comment it will be all praise for the ugly duc.
