Well, I sold off my 999R because I am went back to University and canīt afford racing for the next few years.
So I bought a crashed and rashed 748S.
It started like this:
Fairing is rashed, front wheel was broken and temporarily replaced with my 5 spoke magnesium wheel off my 999R. The front fairing was broken, hence the borrowed red one.
Today, I busted out my camera. Thanks for hubert for the final inspiration on the wheels *drool*
Not done yet, since the actual fairing is still in the mail back from repair. Itīs going to be a carbon fibre fairing with a special, not too fancy color scheme. Wonīt tell you exactly how itīs going to be though, as I want that little secret kept for me til the day sheīs ready.
Upgrades as of today: used cf swingarm guard, Marchesini magnesium 10 spokes (sexiest there are!), still have to put on the 999 brembo masters. P34/34 calipers and 998 rotors (same as the stock ones i think, so no real upgrade).
And well yeah, the cf fairing thatīs still in the mail.
Man I want to ride...
So I had all this stuff in the mail. Repaired cf bits and pieces which I bought for a good price and had repaired by a dude whoīs shaping surf boards.
He also cut some light holes into a racing front mask. How cool is that?
I first thought about putting on my 999 brake slave, but I ended up using the stock 16mm brake off the 748S. I slapped on P34/34 Brembos now. Should be a huge improvement.
I think Iīll take it out for a spin if itīs staying dry tomorrow. 1°C... brrrrrrr...

good to hear from you mate. Iīm glad to hear you making good use of the goldish legs of fortune
As for stuff coming along, I am waiting for paint. Will drop the stuff at the painterīs next week in order to get it done properly.
I first thought Iīd make it red, but red seemed so boring. Then I wanted to make it black. Hm, already had that, boring. Then I really started digging yellow bikes. Yeah hum, but yellow, maybe later... then inbetween came this red/orangish Desmosedici colour. But, naaah, wanted my 999R to be done like that, but never did.
So now itīs back to red, black, white and a bit of carbon fibre. Itīs going to look awesome, but you gotta wait and see until itīs ready. I ordered a Fabbri solo pista windscreen from Carpimoto in Italy, which I think will look pretty pimp as soon as all is done.
For now, I only got this current picture to show off. Still tasty, nontheless if you ask me. -6°C at December 30th. Brrrrrrr.
The frozen Maschsee in Hannover. Yes it was really cold. And still is.

Damn winter, it is still snowing on and off in northern Germany.
I took the front forks apart to have the barrels anodized black. I will do the fork bottoms as well, while I am at it. Damn, that bike is going to look pimp.
My new Superbike
Congrats on the new purchase
