The Yellow Bike Thread *pinned*

Mot a few weeks back. Got the carbon airbox fitted also, feels the same but sounds wicked

 

agree, second picture makes me want one all over again.

 

Done see many yellow Ducatis on the Moto GP grid, all sorts of colours ( not just red) but no yellow, is that because yellow are slower? Draggier paint perhaps, lacking that top coat sheen and shine?

 

That’s lovely!

 

Nah, they're just to pretty to risk.

 

My old one that blew up on me doing ahem mph in the outside lane of the m25

 

Agreed! Here’s my 2001 900SS.

 

In literal terms, Red is the fastest colour. But Ducati, Lancia and Ferrari look best in yellow.

 

Yellow Lancia? Thought they were all rust colour

 

Nah, that's Ford and Vauxhall you're thinking of... a team of talented Welshmen keep the tinworm away from from the good stuff.

 

Chap I used to work with owns this beautiful Stagerwing. I took a trip in it with him from Popham to Bordeaux a few years ago. Plane has two fuel tanks like old cars/ bikes and it started to stutter badly before he remembered to reach down and switch to the other tank!

 

At last something I can agree with in this thread....' talented Welshmen ' that's all of us....

 

This is the one I now own is it not?

 

Yep it is indeed - cracking machine, and quite rare to see an original Monoposta in Yellow - by far the best suited colour for the 749/999 bikes - although in that pic it was quite heavily modded, Dymag carbon wheels, and Kamna oversize carbon fibre tank (which always seemed to leak from the fuel pump aperture)...hope its still going well and being enjoyed?

 

Indeed it is!!!

 

I can’t take credit for this beauty as it was @DR177 who built it, I only looked after it for a year or so
and have now passed it on to the next lucky owner.

I thought I would add the images for posterity and so all who view her may be in awe of how awesome the V4 looks in yellow
