You want to put over 200bhp through a single sided swinger? :eek:

No, no, no, no.

Still prefer MV Augusta's, they're superior to Ducati's. Still nice though.

Im a bit of a ducati hater, but that is gorgeous!

Not bad looking but i prefer other bikes.

I guess it shifts a bit with 220bhp.

Stunning looking bit of kit

- bet it sounds nice too, unlike those horrible jap bikes that sound like a cat being castrated at high revs.

Just out of interest...in which way?

I prefer the sound and the styling of them - never ridden either, nor probably will. And they have Ferrari tuned engines too.

For comparison:

Ho-hum another plastic covered race-rep, lol.

No, no, no, no.

Only cosmetic wise .

That is beautiful and makes me want to get back on 2 wheels again...... a bike will return to the Rilot garage this year. It has been decided.

But, £37,500 :eek:

Reminds me of the Honda NR750 which cost £30,000 back in 1993. Like them, we will never see one of those new Ducatis on the road. They will all get covered in plastic and sat in an air-conditioned garage.

Didn't realise you had given up 2 wheels, any particular reason or just wanted a break from it?

Oh and that Ducati is pure sex. :cool:

But unlike the Ducatis, the hondas will start first out of the wrappers

I have intermittant problems with my health and I thought I was going to be out of it for a while. Seem to have got better quicker than expected.

I know you've put a wink in there, but I never had any trouble with my Ducati, and the finish on it was excellent - the Harley I had was another story.........
