Unique, aggressive new graphics. Dare I say, Bold?

I'm sure it's worth every extra penny. It would sure stand out from the crowd. I wonder though about getting a matching riding suit.

Some day I aspire to own such a vehicle, as I also hope to get a Ferrari, some day.

Well, at least they didn't take advantage of a dead guy this time.

number 90 will be the fast one.

It is possible to make a 998S fugly. What a horrendous paint job.

A Bostrom Ducati??? Does this mean the bike will run like the first half of the year and be a HUGE disappointment, only to run better towards the end of the season?

 

[poopypants]

Yeah, just what we all need, another "special edition" Ducati to add to the list of over inflated moto-jewelry. Hey all you Ducatisti, just admit it, if Ralph Lauren made motorcycles, you would buy them too......

, the Senna replica is/was a fine bike honoring a fine man, show some respect for both.

 

[GAPS]

Im not Ducatisti but I know a jealous rat when I smell one!

It would have been way cooler if they just made a replica of his L&M Ducati instead of this

 

[ollie]

Well, I think the bike's great looking and would love to have one in my fantasy bike museum. However, I wouldn't dare ride it - can you imagine laying it down?? I'd ride it like a grandma if I had to ride it at all. But I digress...



Am I the only one who thinks it odd that they made a Bostrom bike instead of a Bayliss replica?!? I'd be a bit miffed if I were Troy.

obviously, you just can't afford one.

 

[djo]

they are making a bayliss replica. its available in australia not the usa.

 

[hindle]

Good point. What's all the hype about. Troy won the Championship! Not Ben. He probably don't care but I'm sure he asked the question.

 

[hindle]

Didn't read your post until I posted......thanks for the info.

Re: Unique, aggressive new graphics. Dare I say, Bold?

Is this another ploy by Ducati to extract money from poor American wannabes by taking a 996 painting it like Bostroms (evil kenival sp?) modern art helmet and charging 20K for it?? I can just imagine some dork saying to himself "if I get this bike my life will finally have some meaning" but he'll be so afraid to wad the thing I will lever leave his car port!! Corporate greed at its worse!

 

[intruderman]

I would have said the same thing, until I rode a Ducati. They ARE special.

 

[Fangit]

I love Ducatis but I gotta agree buying this bike is akin to wearing a John Elway or Michael Jordan jersey; ie some peoples pathetic idea of getting a life. Can you imagine riding the thing though, everyone will think "look at this wanker who thinks he's Ben Bostrum". Get a Ben Bostrum poster, idolize the guy if necessary, but get your own life and realize pretending to be someone you're not will make you look like a loser. Still, I bet they'll probably sell as well as Michael Jordan jerseys...

 

[tbuse]

I wasn't referring to Senna.

 

[goddamoldladies]

just in case you think that is commericialism...there is also a hodgson ducati GSE racing no.100...i dunno where he finished in WSB ..he didn't win it

 

[CarsSuck]

Well maybe, almost, but...

It's a 998, not a 996. I'd bet that it has the testastretta motor. I think the 996R's (with 998 motor) went for about that much.
