1199 Photo leak!

[nikkimonster]

what the hell is that thing above the rear hugger? another fanny pack?

From what it says in the article, I think that's a header pipe. And maybe some heat shielding around it?

I wonder what kinda gas tank it will have.

Expanding/leaky.

confirmed that it will have gear driven cams

Wow, finally.  Took them 35 years to dump the bevel drive and only 40 to start to phase out the belts.

This "photoshop speculation" picture doesn't impress me. Like a CBR boned an RSV4.

The speculation shot has a dry clutch. Too bad the real thing most likely won't.

That rendering looks like garbage because it also has split 3 spoke wheels. Get real. It's not 1998 anymore.

It's the details in the rendering that look like shit also. If anything, the details on a Ducati are what always impress. It's like the dude who did thy rendering rides a Kawasaki....

Actually.... That's totally it.

Uhhhh, you might wanna go back a page and look at the rear wheel on the 1199 in the last pic.

I guess I assumed it was a split 5 that was moving and the pic was snapped by a cameraphone with a rolling shutter so it just distorted it.

I hope this i the case, cuz they are idiots if they think those wheels are cool. Maybe (if they are actually split 3 spokes) they're only for the 849 (or whatever name) bike... ?

They're one step closer to getting me to buy one of their bikes again....

Don't get too tied up in the details and, instead, look at the big picture.  These spyshots are strategically and purposefully released.  They are full of smoke screen and misleading details.  The Diavel and Multi spyshots all looked crap and got people all worked up.  They even went as far as putting a little person on the multi to confuse people on its demensions.

that was great.

of course, that might have been a diminutive product tester, you know?
