first post!

how much will it cost?

arm and leg.. or first born.

I'd say around 45,000 USD.

although I'm probably low.

It doesn't matter. They['re probably all spoken for already anyway.

I wonder if the team sponsor decal kit includes Marlboro stickers and if I can get Philip Morris to help underwrite the cost.



Cool that they went with the twin pulse firing order for the V twin sound!

Once again kpaul, the Great Motorcycle Prophet, predicts the future.. just kidding guys.. Fantastic bravo Ducati. thanks for making motorcycling life ineteresting ..Unforntuately Bayliss has delayed the death of the V-Twin in Superbike for another couple of years..Imagine what Baylis would do a a superior 4 cylinder..

"twin pulse firing order for the V twin sound!" I knew you would catch that ...

Hey it looks better than the 999 too.

 

[8345]

Interesting. The front looks like it was inspired by the head of the Alien.

HD used to time their dirt track bikes so that both cylinders fired on the same stroke and they called it a "twingle". So if Ducati has a 4 fire like a twin does that make it a "Fwin"?

 

[seruzawa]

Yikes! Who's gonna chance wrecking a 65K motorcycle? Maybe Ducati will presand the sides of the tires so that the owners won't have the embarassment of chicken stips.

Wow, wonder if Pro-Italia is going to have a test ride extravaganza for the Desmodisidich...Desomoseidech...er Ducati.



My whole view of Ducati was changed after riding that STR4S. Any motor that makes more mechanical noise than my Buell without blowing up is a work of art.



Rat on Desmosedisi.

 

[Buzglyd]

Finish in second like the rest of them?

 

[Buzglyd]

I'm guessing that for the kind of people that will buy these, 65 grand ain't a whole lot of money.

 

[Buzglyd]

Sounds so good the I4s in motoGP copied it too.

 

[Buzglyd]

a twour.

 

[Buzglyd]

I remember when I rolled up on my ST4 at my buddies Harley shop.



He asked, "is it supposed to make that much noise?"

 

[seruzawa]

Think John Kerry will get one?

 

[mscuddy]

You lucky devil...that bike freaking flys. Dig the big honking noise it makes too when you go down a couple gears wfo on the freeway

 

[mscuddy]

Don't let Sean ride it.

I'm gonna go ahead and call a divorce attorney now?



On the other hand, my wife has 8 horses. Let's see, 8 horses divided into $65,000.........

Hey! That comes out about even!



Woooo Hooooo!



On the other hand $22k for a 999s sounds really good compared to the RR? Could be I can slip that through now?
