  3. Probably in homage to the 'sportier' appearance of a light-weight aluminium subframe as used on the single seat 916 type race bikes.

    The biposto models had a painted subframe but the SP/SPS/R etc. models would have the bare aluminium for extra 'race' look.

  8. TRY RAL 3002 Nelson. I have my kart powder coated with this RAL colour and also have at home Ducati red colour in bottle and looks the same for me.

  14. All the leftover work to do will be engine orientated... So from an aesthetic point of view it won't look much different.... Going for more power next...
