Why?
 

Why would you stick a TL motor in a 916?

Re: Why?
 

The explanation tells you why, somebody had a rolling chassis so had the bright idea of dropping the tl lump in it. Better chassis than the tl in the first place.

Re: Why?
 

I like it :) and as too your why? It had no engine so someone stuck the TL one in

Re: Why?
 

Why the hell not?

TL1000R is a brilliant engine which can be mental. The duc engines are horrible to work on and break a lot.

Re: Why?
 

The entire process is justified by the following scenario:

You ride up on your beautiful 916, pull the clutch in, and no one thinks you've got a set of spanners loose in the crank cases :)

^^^^This :lol:

However I am biased in the opinion that any TL motor in an Italian, well handling suit, is a good thing :smt080

Re: Why?
 

Fair point, which I will concede
We've got the SB8 for that tho ;)

To quote a punter in my local dealers:
"Owning a ducati is like making love to a beautiful woman"

I'll let you all finish that statement off


Jambo, its a skeleton w**king, while rolling down hill in a steel bin :smt016

Re: Why?
 

Expensive , High Maintenance and they don`t get wet too often ?

Re: Why?
 

Or you can get it wet but it'll cost you :-P


Like a beautiful woman after 17 pints... that feeling of rolling over in the morning and seeing "AAHHHHRRRG" ... is when you need to service it.

I reckon most Ducati owners have burned more calories boasting about Sex than actually doing it
