The bike collection (as promised)

[ui]ICEMAN · 10 Oct 2008 at 19:08

Finally have pictures of most of the bikes now, didn't unfortunately get any of the MV Agusta 1078RR Brutale or the 1078RR F4 before they got swapped out for the Ducati but I do have some others.

Ducati Monster Tricolore

KTM RC8's, the first one is my Dad's, the second is mine that got delivered today

My Dad's has all the orange bolts on it and has the single seat, I've just not got around to removing my pillion seat and foot pegs yet.

Finally the Ducati 1098R, this one has the full race system on it which you can usually only get in the US, nearly 200bhp and it only weighs a shade over 160kg dry.

That KTM is stunning. Ducati Wolverhampton

haha

..Wow

I know absolutely nothing about bikes, but that KTM is the single best looking bike I've seen.

Dunks · 10 Oct 2008 at 19:16

I'd take the Ducati over the RC8, very close though! They're all sexual.

[ui]ICEMAN · 10 Oct 2008 at 19:18

well you could almost buy 3 rc8s for the price of the Ducati...

AtomicBanana · 10 Oct 2008 at 19:26

Man, I'd hate you if you didn't have such good tate, and weren't such a nice guy, and appear fairly well grounded, and all the rest

Keep up the good work, I'll continue to save for *one* second hand 600RR

Dunks · 10 Oct 2008 at 19:26

He needs a desmo tbh

Lovely bike the 600RR, I've never owned one but I've always thought it was such a beautiful looking machine, you'll enjoy it I'm sure!!

I have no problem admitting that neither my Dad or I are good enough riders to get the most out of any bike, let alone the Desmo! For your "average" rider the 1098R is supposedly quicker thanks to the full race traction control system on it.

I may be able to drive cars pretty much to their limit but I'm in no way anything more than average on a bike

Pug · 10 Oct 2008 at 20:19

nice collection!

Test rode the KTM, and decided to buy a 08 fireblade. not that the KTM was poor - lovely suspension, just the blade was... awesome.

Enjoy and be careful out there!

Honestly iceman, it says a lot about your character that theres only 1 post i could find about your cars.

The fact you've remained so modest, despite your family obviously doing very well for themselves, is a credit to your parents.

Griffo · 10 Oct 2008 at 21:43

Well IceyPants, those are all well and good, but as I'm sure you can appreciate they can't hold a candle to my SV650. It's the Sport model don't you know!

Well thank you, saved me a job too!! I've always thought of myself as just any other guy, just because I come from a wealthy family and have money myself doesn't make me any better than anyone else. Some of my best friends are some of the poorest people I know. It's nice to have a good lifestyle but in all honesty it means very little if no-one wants to spend any time with you!
