Ladies and gentlemen we have come to the final adjudication.....

I have appreciated greatly all of the input and have made a decision to purchase.....

However to go with those pipes I agree that the bike would have to be transformed quite markedly or otherwise they would just look out of place.I would have to go for the race rep bits as a complete package I think. Having those pipes on what is largely a standard looking machine would I feel just be so wrong! Then again if the old back holds up and my long term ownership pans out,then that could be what I go for in a couple of years.(or I could by then have got hold of a sexier than sex 851 or 888 and then it wouldn't matter anymore!)

Termignoni? Many owners are happy with them but then there are also many who are dissapointed. I don't but the...it's a Ducati so it has to be Termi line. The half system with Termi gets you a new back box,front link pipe,(to remove catalyst to front cylinder) 2 x race air filters,race ECU and a carbon cover. Not bad you might say for about 1200 of your squid?

Well the filters are exactly the same as the standards...so WTF?

I am not a great lover of carbon and so an item costing over 200 squid that has no ownership value to me?

Many have found that the race ECU does not do the job and a better option is to go with standard ECU and Power Commander.

I have also read quite a bit on dissapointed owners telling about the build quality of the Termi's and them feeling a premium has been paid purely for the name. (I Know yeah so what did I pay just to get hold of a Ducati?!)

Well the order is just about ready to go in on the baby shown below. Made in Milan by a company that worked very closely with Ducati when designing the system. It has the benefit of a removable baffle for when I want to be at my naughtiest!

The brand name you will start to see even more as they are this season for the first time running in supersport. I was put onto these by a nice Italian guy called Fabio who really kniows his stuff and is a former bike racer himself.

The guys behind the mega's have not even bothered to reply to my "buyer" questions!! Where as Stefano from Tecnorace has speedilly answered all correspondence.

Tis nice is that.

Don't like it.

24-01-06, 10:08 PM

Damn Northy...why did you not post earlier? Gone and ordered it now!

northwind · 24-01-06, 10:12 PM

If I told you to jump off a building, would you do it? The nicest thing that can be said about my tastes is that they're questionable

Northy...Due to an Italian guy on a Ducati site putting me in touch with this company....I really have just been made..."an offer I can't refuse!"

I am now going to be the owner of only the second titanium system made by the company(my pal being the first) at a price LOWER than a stainless version with postage paid from Italy!! It works out a good 30% cheaper than a Termi one! You got to love that?!

To Stefano of Tecnorace and

to fabio in London!

I like it mate... Not too 'mad' looking like the GP replicas, but 'different' enough...

Wouldn't mind hearing some sound bites after its fitted too
