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?
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......
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.
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!
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...
Sports jerseys are just shirts. I'm pretty sure people who wear them very well may just be fans, and might not actually think they're someone else at all. As far as selling like Jordan jerseys, I could be wrong but I bet they didn't limit the number of Jordan jerseys that were produced to 155. I mean c'mon, get a little tiny clue. Do you really have no idea why they make little limited ed. specials and why people buy them? I don't want one, but who cares.
If I had one I'd ride the piss out of it and thrash it.
as hard as I could. And if I didn't crash it quick enough, I'd try flattracking it on some gravel. I bet that'd do it. Just think how cool I'd be riding a bike like this with some big gravel scuffs on the side of the fairing! (Well I'd be just as cool as I already am, but that's beside the point.) Pissing off all the squares and snooty dorks who would actually use the term "ducatisti" in reference to themselves, confusing all the g-money nerds in tommy hilfiger shirts, and making all the girlies swoon. And the righteous would rejoice in it being saved from the hands of those who don't think motorcycles are for riding.
