Too much power in the wrong hands can be painful.

Have fun, but watch out for cars (the slow, big things on the roads). Grin

Heh, well my dad collects these types of bikes. We usually take a motorcycle trip each year and since this one is his favorite now, looks like im on the BMW. Not a bad thing though Wink

Btw the bike is supposed to push close too 200. THe guy we bought it from had raced it some and said it was a bat outta hell Cheesy

Ducati's are about the only bikes that get my juices flowing... the powerfull sound of their engines is even a bit scary! Great shots!

Yes, must be the only bike with a decent sound coming out of the back end. Wonder what Fozzer thinks?

Get that girl you've always been after and take her for a spin on the back of it... with that dual exhaust roaring right under her -you know what- she'll be putty in your hands.. Wink

Lovely machine

Very nice Ducati there Monkey

, would you possibly be able to do a Video clip of her running?
Also is your dad planning on getting the dual seat conversion for it?

if only it had the dual seat conversion, easiest way to tell is it hasn't got the rear footpegs.

Twas built to race and shall stay that way Grin

I personally think that dual seats ruin the overall effect of these bikes, but thats just me. As for a video clip, I dont have a camera capable of that, maybe at some point in the near future Wink
