Re: 1098

The bike is still a twin. Rumors had me thinking it would be real sportbike with an inline. Oh well. I stopped riding Ducati because I don't really care for the twin. I was hoping to see the Duc come with some form of useable power.

Re: 1098

Twins have plenty of usable power. It's just different than an inline.

Re: 1098

Looks like a 996 and 999 got it on.

Had to go retro to make it decent looking again.

But I do like it.

That black one is a looker, but I would love to have a white one with the red or silver frame.
Prices aren't bad either.

Re: 1098

The more I see of this bike the more I just want one!

Not since the 929 have I just had that, "Need to own it" feeling. Everything else is just so cookie cutter. That bike seems to have a personality just sitting there. That Tri-Color is just...... oh I made a mess...

Re: 1098

I've been drolling over the pic of the black one,

It's FRIGGIN PHOTOSHOPED! Too bad, cause that's good looking. But if it's available, I'll take the Tri-Color.

$25k for the Tricolore.

Bout what I'd expected, $15k was too good to be true.

That's all I need to know. On my way to the dealer to make the deposit.

Anyone want an 05 RC-51 with 8k miles and Arata exhaust?
