Very nice, now thats a REAL ducati! None of this 999 / 1098 bull, the 916 / 996 / 998 was the best design!

Looks bloody gorgeous in those colours too

Looks good, Did he get JHP to do all the work or did he do it himself?

JHP, my mate barely knows where to put the fuel, let-alone anything more mechanically complex than that!! :D

Re: My mates bike

Nice. Liz's 749S came from JHP originally, they must be ferking good if your mate took his bike all the way to Coventry to get work done it.

Also is it me or does that bike look black at the bottom. Is it based on the Motogp Anniversay paint scheme that the Ducati's ran in 2006. If so I thought it should have been green on the bottom not black or maybe its the light on the picture.

Anyway, if your mate is local based, be nice to drag him along to Poole quay if its road legal then we can ogle it in the flesh.

Well firstly he lives near Cambridge so not really 'local' and secondly it is a track/racebike so unless he trailered it there its not like he would take it there ;)

As for paint scheme, don't ask me?!!? :D
