Hi all Just saw this online and thought others may be interested to see another take on a 999 customisation. I know the styling of the 999/749 has been discussed to death on a number of forums but I was wondering what others think of this? I am on the fence regarding it. Here is the link: Ducati 999 CF - Arete Americana - il Ducatistail Ducatista Apologies if already posted.
Looks pretty good for a hoon - although the seat - - but of no use for actually going anywhere as there is nowhere to put a tail pack. It this nitpicking? Dunno, but some of us like riding a road we don't know, and I've pretty much done all the ones around here where I can still get back home on the day I left.
Yes. If you are staying out overnight, pack a credit card and buy some clothes/toothbrush etc on arrival. You need to appreciate the aesthetic and look for innovative solutions to life's boring practicalities.... RX
Well I do appreciate the aesthetic. My issue is that I see no solution to life's boring practicalities. But if I didn't live in the real world, sure. Why not? Bikes have become increasingly impractical over the decades. Now if you want practicality, you end up with something fugly like a Multi. Is it not beyond the wit of designer to design a beautiful bike which is actually useful?
you lack imagination :wink: imagine rocking up to stelvio etc on THAT my kriega rucksack holds essentials for a week or 2 in europe, you could put a tank bag on it at a push, where ther is a will there is a way
It is an old Radial Ducati project I mean tank is dead give away with them always. Lovely bike, great colour all it needs is red rims to look like senna grey scheme.
why bother about the impracticalities (did I spell that write) most people have a second usable bike.
