  1. Bikes like this need to be seen (heard). To put it in a glass cabinet for one man to spunk over is just wrong. Sadly, that's what will probably happen with this beautiful example.

    Crying shame.

  3. You young whippersnapper! That's because you don't remember Doug Polen winning world championships on it!

  6. Rumour had it that Ducati were planning on an 800cc Desmo road bike but it was going to be north of £60k... I know a few people have expressed an interest to Ducati UK if they were ever produced etc

  7. If Ducati/Honda/Yamaha made proper GP rep bikes to sell to the public, it wouldn't matter the cost as people would still buy them. Just look at the cost of Lambos, Ferraris and all manner of other supercars. There will always be a market

  8. It is indeed a very nice bike, a few bits are wrong but close. "Put it on the road" this is not a road bike, you'll need to fit a starter motor to get anywhere first.

  9. A glass case or track days only wouldn't be enough for me ... so to answer the OP's question I'd have to go for the Desmosedici

  15. Yes as they are slightly new-er. Give it few more years. Not to mention in those few years you can enjoy beautiful desmo or look at "brick".

  16. Are you frigging mad Dave, where the hell would you put the tax disc?

  17. Joking aside, I'd sooner have the Desmo. You could actually use the thing. And I am convinced that Desmo prices will rise. I bet if you bought one now and kept it for 10 years, you'd be laughing

  18. Not to mention in 10y about half of desmos will be written off.

  19. As I said in another thread, the desmosedici leaves me completely cold, and it sure is ugly. I'll take the 888 please.

  20. I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and you are entitled to your opinion, but given that you live in Milton Keynes and own a Honda CBR600F and a Honda Accord I'm not sure that your views on the D16 would be given credence by many others :wink:
