Might even be, but that picture looks a bit strange to me.

is it really necessary?

Nope... but does that really play?

I'm wondering if the SBKs are going to come full circle at some point and the ginourmous twins are going to be dropped and/or a smaller one gets picked back up, like going back to a around 750ccs. Over 200hp? that's just nuts

The Pani is kind of shy or power, as it is  ;D
Not sure if the 1299 will come with bore++ or stroke++.

I hope it handles better than the first H2.

If you ever rode one you'd understand.

 perspective
    is even more amazing than yours."

I did ride one (Owned an S1 250) what I can't belive is that I just saw the word handled and H2 in the same sentence.   Might be a first!

[thumbsup]  Been there, done that. Memorable.  [thumbsdown]
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

If they are going to be selling the 1299 along with the 1199 that can only be until they sell the surplus 1199's. Looks like deals might be had.  I mean a 1299 right next to an 1199. What would you get?  [evil]  [roll]

Sorta like most performance cars these days..... Purchased by drivers that can't handle a 5k shifter cart

You forgot to add a part so I fixed it for ya.  Hope that helped.

Understood, but I was speaking more toward the lack of being able to be able to really USE such a thing on public roads.

(I owned a ~625 HP GT500 for three years before realizing how frivolous it was unless you A) wanted to lose you license forever, or B) had a death wish.)
