  1. If this is the pinnacle of Ducati ownership, then it could be underpriced. £100k is a nice round number which would appeal to the mega wealthy.

    That swing arm is a lovely thing.

  5. Am I the only one that thinks that making everything out of carbon fibre is a gimmick? I like a well balanced machine with bits of carbon, aluminium, cardboard, hummus, etc. I don't need the bloody inside of the seat cover to be made from carbon. In some things a few grams matter - badminton rackets for example. But this has got 200hp+, it should be able to move a bit of aluminium around.

  7. If you wish to purchase a machine sprinkled with components made of cheese, chocolate, or iron oxide just go to any Ducati main agent's showroom - you will be offered a choice of models.

  8. I like Ducati showboating to a degree, but concentrate on whats current not airy fairy museum pieces that probably only 10% of will only see a proper beating on a track.

    The SL was some trick bike. Good to see many used for purpose.

    Wear well to new owners of 1408 ;)

  9. Not sure what I would rather own: a Desmo or an SL. Isn't a problem, as I can't own either, but doesn't stop me thinking about it.....but then I start thinking about or would I rather own a MGP or proper WSBK bike...

  14. Project 1408-1299

    I think your being had... I think it's all code..

    From those numbers I'd say your getting a mint 916 for your 60K...Which was made by Luigi at 8minutes past 2pm in December 1999..

    An afternoon bike in Dec is not a good idea as Luigi will have been on the vino at lunch for sure..

    Mind you the way 916's are appreciating in value 60k will soon be a fair price...

  17. I assume you mean "black" and I'm not disagreeing with you if you are :)

  20. These pics are being posted of that bike on lots of bike news sites. Am I the only one that can see the swingarm isn't carbon fibre?
