Sorry but for that money I'd want panels that fitted and welding done by a welder not an ape.

Cheers Mark.

I think the DD16 is ugly. There was one for sale on E Bay recently which was only bid up to 35k. It didn't reach the reserve.

Get in!



In this case white is faster!

For all the doubters - they sound special and are put together nice but the looks dont match but then again the sheer ability of the machine is awesome.

MARMITE I say!

If I wanted an ugly yet capable bike I would get a 'busa.

Don't see the point of ducatis in general TBH. Seems you pay a silly premium for less performance, less reliability and all you get is a brand "image" ... wait isn't that how h*rley make their money?

Yeah in terms of looks definatly. In terms of every day riding, definatly. In terms of pure "mine's bigger than yours" down at the pub, certainly..

I'm talking chicken strips btw..

Ditto. I'd prefer your 996 over any SV anyday! Was even planning on shipping one out to Australia at one point until customs stuck their oar in.
