  2. It's Wednesday. Where's the preview?
     
  3. Count down clock on the web site still has 22 hours to go. Andy
     
  4. I was all excited then. Shall we have a guess how much it'll be?!!

  6. Maybe they're waiting for the paint to dry.
     
  7. It’s on the My Ducati app with few details, just a photo and limited to 500 units, based on the SP by the looks of it..
     
  8. Looks good. I reckon £16,995.
     
  9. Cheaper than I thought. What's the consensus on this bike then?
     
  10. An extra £2100 for a trinket or two and a number plaque. Ducati shamelessly gouging punters.
     
  11. I know the Monster was once credited with saving Ducati but a limited edition of 500 ? Andy
     
  12. Forged aluminium alloy wheels instead of lightweight cast, a paint job, an embroidered seat cover, an Öhlins steering damper and a plaque. The wheels and steering damper can account for most of that £2100. Andy
     
  13. They’ve all been doing it for years though.
    How many *ahem iterations/8 ball paint jobs of the 675 did triumph bring out lol? I can count at least 7 off the top of my head and I’m three beers down.

  14. Given that forged wheels retail for £2K & a steering damper for £350 I can see where you're coming from. However full retail? Surely Ducati have already costed in regular wheels and a handsome profit off the regular bikes?

    Different paint and a plaque are worthless. Embroidered seats only serve to let rain water get inside imo.

    But if there are people who want this -all power to them...
     
  15. And carbon mudguards. Don’t forget the carbon mudguards!

    I’m tempted, but am not really a fan of gold wheels. Could get them painted I suppose.
     
  16. The SP also comes with damper, so you get paint job on the Anniversario, and gold forged wheels, the SP also has fancy paint..

    I had the 25 Anniversario with Termis, but it also had as standard Rizoma mirrors, levers, tail tidy, fuel filler, more carbon and damper over the S. I kept it 3.5 years and sold it last year for pretty much what I paid….
     
  17. Stuck a deposit down, don’t even know if I like it tbh, but will ride a normal one soon and see how we go.

  18. How many miles did you do on it?
     
  19. A trick they borrowed from MV? I think there’s more “Ltd Edition” SC versions of their range out there than there are standard ones ;):joy:

  20. With only 500 produced for worldwide distribution, I wish you good luck with that. Wouldn’t surprise me if the allocation was sold out in hours. Andy
