Project 1408

Meh, too much for too little IMO. Never really took the Pani in looks as I thought it was too bigger step for Ducati to take after owning a 1098R.

However , I shall continue to watch for the new V4 due this time next year and hope they don't forget about my deposit they have, now that bike does get me excited :Woot::Woot::Woot:

 

Right Im bored of this project 1408 shit now.

 

Based on Ducatis recent strategy, in 2020 you'll be charged £100k+ for a bike so light you'll have to just trust them it's actually there

 

It's £72k. 500 limited run. 215bhp & 108 ft/lb of torque with the (Euro 4) street pipe. 221 bhp with the full system. 154kgs. All carbon (frame, swing arm, wheels, bodywork) 1285cc engine given the SL treatment for lightness & power. New forks & brakes. WSB style wheelbarrow exhaust. Moto GP derived electronics package. Factory test rider 2 seconds per lap quicker than on 1199 SL (don't know which track).

 

It has a new face

 

Just another Farce Bikes f*ck up though cos surely that's the new Superspurt

 

SO FUNNY WELL DONE LOL

 

Will it be made available on the tri options package?

 

Strangely none of the dealers I've emailed have responded to that exact question

I mean what do you have to do nowadays to buy a bloody bike, oh well their loss

 

TTX36 shock with a lightweight titanium spring. Never heard of or seen a titanium spring before. How does that work when the titanium I've seen before would be too brittle ? Andy

 

This titanium is stronger. Like imagine the other titanium you've seen is like Steven Gerard, and this titanium is like the rock.

 

Think SL1 had ti spring.

 

Penske have been putting Ti springs in motorcycle shocks for years.

 

And a carbon fibre subframe, f'ck those electronics must be expensive

 

^^^^^ Well, you live and learn. Thank you . Andy

 

Well these can add-up...
