The bike collection (as promised)

Lovley bikes dave, that ducattie 1098 R is simply stunning :)

Shame you got rid of the VX tho ha ha ;)
 
Couple of additions to the collection.

First off, I replaced my RC8 with a carbon fibre decked Ducati 848. Excuse the indoor pics, weather has been awful.

Then to go alongside the 1098R, a brand spanking new Desmosedici.

I am just blown away by your amazing collection of bikes. I have never seen such a big collection of prestigious bikes like this.

And the Desmo RR to top it all off!!! :cool:

Very nice :)

WOW!!

No other photo in Motors has ever made my jaw drop that far....that is just awesome!
 
That is an insane bike collection, when do you get the time to ride all your bikes and drive all your cars ? Sounds like you need to hire some one to do it for you ...
 
Gorgeous! Out of interest, why an 848 and a 1098? I can understand the DD for the track though, must be something very special. Not that I'm complaining of course, a beautiful collection, now add an MV Agusta F4 and a 916!
 
The 1098 isn't a normal one, it's the R which *is* the WSB bike for this year, complete with traction control. I didn't like the weight of the RC8 so decided I wanted something a little more lively. The 1098R isn't an easy bike to ride, the 848 I can do long rides on, nor does it have the terrifying power of the R, believe me it's savage.

We've had every MV going over the last year including a 1078RR and an F4 312. They may look pretty but they are not great as bikes, very out of date now compared to what else is out there. Could have easily had a Tamborini for the price of the desmo but unlike the desmo which is a race bike the Tamborini is simply an F4 with expensive bits on it.

To have both is ideal, I must say I've been in love from the first moment that I set eyes on the F4, the new Ducatis are works of art too.

Do you own any classics?
 
I plonked a nice pic of the 848 as my desktop at work, it's a beaut' of a bike and no mistake! How is she to ride? You mention comfortable for distances, this is most good.
 
If anyone wants higher resolution pics then just let me know and I'll post them up.

Tom_nieto , no we don't own any classic bikes, had some pretty special classic racing cars but no bikes sadly.
