HELP ME OUT GUYS!!! MY 999 NEEDS A BIG BROTHER AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT. My first thought was the Bimota, but now I'm torn between a Mtion SBK 1098, which is beautiful and exclusive and a Tricolore, not to mention the Bimota. Oh Boy, what a rough choice to have to make!! LOL, let me know your opinion and why guys!!
 
Bimota is most exclusive I do believe. But that can be a (-) as well, less parts avail, higher costs for maintenance and stuff. Using a Duc engine, why not just get the real deal?

Mtion SBK 1098 I'm not familiar with, but sounds like a nice chunk of $, if you got it then cool.

Tricolore would be the easiest purchase I would imagine, least maintenance cost and more places for service etc.

Does this help? I dunno.
 
The motion 1098 is very sexy and very fast. I would go with it. I would have got one but they didn't exist when I bought my bike.
 
Stay with Ducati if you can, Bimota has had a foot in the grave for few years now, just like MV. Ducati is the only one that is holding its ground these days. Even Benelli was almost extinct until China stepped in.
1098R would be my suggestion!
What did you end up doing about the exhaust on the 999?
 
Actually no he didn't. He said the Motion 1098 is in the same speed category as the "R", but half the price. I had to look up via google the Motion SBK 1098. Its quite the looker indeed. I'd be on the fence, I mean if I had the funds for an "R" I'd probably get it, but the MSBK is very very nice. More CF, better brakes, same speed/pull, just done with a 1099cc instead of an 1199cc.
 
Thank you cat. Yeah the motion 1098 come with different options for hp. They will build the engine as crazy as you want. The one I seen was on eBay and I'm pretty sure it went for 26 grand. And like cat said, lighter wheels, more carbon, better brakes. And I'm really not sure of this one but wasn't there only like 400 motions made in the world?? They are a pretty sweet bike. Not to in to the color but in a world where you have to strive to be different, it looks pretty damn good to me.
 
Doh.... My bad... Some how I went brain dead and didn't read the "Motion" in the "Motion 1098" thats why my brain couldn't believe what my eye's were reading.. Or something like that... My Apologies & I'll take my crow well done please..
