Seen by yours truly at the bridge this morning.

One or two envious eyes being cast, together with a game of spot the rich man.

Not sure if I would leave my helmet resting on the tank like that though

I was out on a ride with someone that had one of them last week. Looks sexy

Makes a hell of a noise when it firsts pulls away (slipper clutch maybe??)
The exhaust was so loud it set off car alarms just riding past them

I liked the 1098R i saw at the ace a while back.

Then the bloke started it up.

Oh, it was a bag of spanners; was ok when he rode off, but that dry clutch noise is just horrible!

Had a look at one of those at ducati manchester a while back, they look great till you get close up, then like kwak said really.

It's the sound of the dry clutch that makes me so desperately want a 748 or 998
