I've always found it interesting that rider position on American and European bikes are directly related to riders position in a saddle on a horse in the same parts of the world. If you look at the way a rider is positioned in an English riding saddle the body is forward and feet back, the same as on your Ducati, or say a Triumph. Then you look at a Harley or an Indian bike the rider position is the same as a western riding saddle, feet forward and body back. Cool bike amigo, you're gonna have a ton of fun on that thing.

Nice machine. The 999 may have been a departure from the side by side headlights of the 916, but the 916 was also a departure from the single squared headlamp design of the superbikes that came before it. Looking at it from that perspective, the 999 is more of a successor to the 888. Regardless, I love them all.

They stopped making it in 2003 not 2008, as Neil Hodgson was on the 999 when he won the WSB championship. The brought it out as they got beat in 2002 by Honda and their phenomenal SP2 (yes, I’m biased) 🤣 I would however have a 998 tomorrow if I won the lottery, to sit next to my SP2, as I still think they’re both the best looking bikes ever made 😁👍🏻 Oh, and I think they had to sell 300 road bikes to qualify in WSB/BSB, which is why the Foggy Petronas FP1 had to stop racing, as they never sold enough. Finally, the frame is called a trellis frame 😁 Beautiful bike Laurence 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

You can disconnect the wire to the sidestand so you can start the bike with the sidestand out.

Fellow superbike owner here 👋 word of caution: wheelies normally cause oil to spill from the crankcase breather, working it's way very quickly to your rear wheel 😬 beautiful thing though. Congratulations 👏

Beautiful ride Laurence I will send this video to my brother because he is the crotch rocket fan in our clan...I have owned bikes since i was 17, but since it was my main mode of transport i always went for comfort & carrying capacity... My family has always loved the European & Japanese bikes me included. But i broke down on my last bike & bought a Victory Vision...which was made by polaris, but discontinued after they purchased Indian. Cheers & enjoy that ride 😍😍💙💙👏👏‼️

You can have the bike idle with kickstand down I have no issue with this on my 998
@7rslender

That really depends on the production year I guess. I have a 998S from 2002. My bike does not allow me to start the engine when the kickstand is down. Does your 998 go out then, when your kickstand is down and you put her in first gear? AFAIK there was a law in Italy that prevented bikes from driving away when the kickstand is down to prevent accidents. This is also the reason why the 916 came with self folding kick stand ... which of course caused some other troubles ;-)

A classic - I highly recommend the Ohlins fork internal upgrade for the Showa forks. It keeps them looking factory on the outside, but the internal valving / response is better. 2001 748 Owner Colorado.

Absolutely beautiful bike Laurance. Shame I didn’t get to ride it. So many happy memories of blasting around Cadwelll on a track day on my mates 996. Yes if it’s not Italian and Red it must be crap ha ha. Glad you understand about getting old and “it hurts” just wish the Italians did do a true comfortable tourer. KZitem sucks. We may have to move over to Rumble. You need to do a video of a ride mate Ozello Trail would be cool.

My brother had bikes but his were Hondas. We bought him one for Christmas one year! And try to hide that bike. It didn’t work that well hiding it. Enjoy your new toy! Have a great week and see you soon!
