Kill me fast

[Geeen]

WTF??

"Gorgeous machines so quick you wouldn't feel a thing

It's a given - Ducati makes some of the most gorgeous two-wheeled machines on the planet.

And now Danish artist Kristian van Hornsleth has responded to the lines of the company's 1098 and 1198 bruisers by applying a special paint scheme to 10 of the machines.

Hornsleth calls the series "Kill Me Fast," perhaps appropriate for bikes that can rip off the zero to 100km/h dash in two seconds.

He was drawn to the Ducatis when he asked a salesman if it was dangerous to ride such a fast bike and the salesman said you don't feel anything when you hit a wall going 320km/h."

Just wait to see how you respond if someone scratches it in a carpark... or it falls over...

Looks like a flower bed sicked up on a duck

[Sable]

Who cares?

[Toaster]

Looks like a rainbow, a tagger and a Ducati had a threesome and produced this love-child.

Nah, it's like the vomit you get straight after a pizza.
Hmmm, Ducati = Italian ... Pizza = Italian. The defense rests your honour.

I could let my 4 yo son loose with paint and get a similar result. I like 1098s, but not these ones.

anyways a repaint would be cheap, just get your local neighborhood tagger to come round :lol:

Missed the wall and crashed right into the paint shop.

(And the result is painfull).

And Viral hemorrhagic fever is more interesting than a sniffle.

Awwww come on, it beats YAUIM.

I retract my previous comment. You wouldn't know it was scratched, and if on the amazing chance someone actually noticed, then they would think it was part of the "art"

[release_the_bees]

Just don't let the ACC guys see that bike, they might add that colour scheme to their checklist, complete with hi-vis!

I have the little 848 that only hurts you. Took it on the road once and let it loose. I quickly realized the brakes and handling did not equal the accleration. Has been at the track ever since where it belongs. Paint job is plastic welding and scratches but still kind of attractive.
