I want one of these.

I really want one of these. (http://www.ducati.com/od/ducatiuk/en/bikes/model.jhtml?model=2922)

Should i get one, or do u think i'd look like too much of a tw*t doddering round snetterton in the novice group on it.

Do you think it would take a top box or a ventura bag - i ride to work sometimes and need enough space for a laptop and change of clothes.

Please don't mock too much - i am sort of serious.:p

FZ1S - Fazer thou with ABS.

they look like a nice bike...can i have a go?

[New Leaf]

course ya can. if u come to cambridge with a fully comp insurance cert and cash to cover the excess. :)

lets call it a test ride - i'll need to sell it to get a deposit for my 1198S. :cool:

[wyrdness]

Do you think it would take a top box

NO!
I'd have to hunt you down and kill you if you did.

[Alpinestarhero]

just to upset wyrdness even more, get a topbox AND hard panniers.

I know I would

[G]

Looks pretty damned nice, unless I was seriously loaded I could never enjoy riding something like that.

[New Leaf]

I've done a bit of research. i think it looks okay - Would prolly have to leave it at home on track days though.


Off to look for a roof rack for my lotus elise....

[dizzyblonde]

is that a pillion seat or something else??

quite like it,

although I still want an Xtra Raptor santa:-)

[New Leaf]

i think they call it a pillion pad. Seat is pushing it a bit - lol.

well pillion perch, perhaps would be a good description:p its the size of a bloody postage stamp. Not much room for a bum on there ...but then I think thats the idea;)

[G]

I dont think it has anything to do with a pillion.....I think its to stop the rider sliding back.

There doesnt apper to be any pillion pegs.

If I could afford to I'd ratify one of those just to make all the ducatistis cry :-D

You know how to wound haha

[yorkie_chris]

Just think... a multiple stickered rickman top box ... some cammo net ... matt black. Teehee.

[Mr Speirs]

It would be the most awesome ratter tho ;)

Just think... a multiple stickered rickman top box

I have one of these with stickers going back to 1978. It was on my FS1E when I first started riding at 16 and stickers have been added over the years. It's a piece of modern art.

The photo doesn't show much, but it is plastered in them.

If YC thinks his SV is ratty, he never saw this thing. The grey bits on the forks are a mixture of leaking fork oil on top of corrosion and the boodywork isn't badly painted, that's duct tape.

Seems like Ducati have got the same idea YC. Just needs a ragged/worn sticker kit. :smt019

Yes you would:)

HTH;)

[chakraist]

Do it, the FZ1S you have is gorgeous btw and would make an excellent trade in, if you get a good deal on it, I don't see how you can pass up the 1198.

[fatneck]

You might look like a tw4t doddering around the track, but you'll be the one having all the fun, especially with that top box...do it!

[Littlepeahead]

I have also fallen in love with the 1198s - being a short A**e little woman I'm seeing it only weighs the same at the SV and thinking oh yeah, I could handle one of those easy! But of course being a girl I would need a top box for my handbag!
