The 916 is an icon, no doubt, but to me this is a worthy successor...

Have to agree there, the 1098 is a gorgeous machine...

The rear view's stunning, once you get rid of those daft cans, but up front it still doesn't impress me... I thought it'd make more sense once I saw one, and it doesn't seem so slabsided in the flesh, but I still reckon it's pretty ordinary. The 916 and even the 999 were something new and exciting, the new one's just a bit bleh by comparison IMO, just another bike.

Put it this way, the 916 was it's own bike, the 1098 will always be the successor, IMO.
