Im not a vtwin fan, I dont own a Duc but for many they are something special.

Oh my god this bike looks good though. Got to be the best looking bike out there/coming IMHO. Friggin sexy pics in this article. Worth a look, and I havent read it yet.

Did ya see that big flat can under the tail??

"No doubt this bike is a star, when it arrives on the Market July 2007, there will only be 400 of this limited edition made, and Ducati has no plans to transplant the sand-cast V-Four engine to other production bikes. I ask a Ducati representative about power, and I'm told to expect "over 200 hp [at 13,500RPM] once breathed on with an after market ECU and racing exhaust."

I haven't seen that sort of front suspension before. Looks like there's four fork legs.

I think it's got gas front shocks or something...so the extra two would be gas resevoirs I assume...

They do a "press launch" or something similar and don't let anybody actually ride it? What's all that about then?

Its a V 4 that is supposed to have as much power as a zx14.

I imagine it will be three times the price of one as well.

More power I think.

The 200hp claims for the Duc that I've heard are at the wheel, vs. 200 at the crank for the 14.

Yeah but you can have one of these and count the cylinders and be pleasantly surprised. The biggest issue is getting yourself on the waiting list - you've probably got to kill someone that already owns a 999R.

Standard rules of training and presentations - tell them once, tell them again and then in your summary tell them again. 3 times is what is needed to sink in.

Besides you reposted that you're not a V Twin fan so I thought that was a pattern.

No one else told you to find the existing Ducati owner and do what is necessary though eh!

Do you like V4's? How many cylinders did your Hyosung have?

I know someone with a Brutale 910R. If I bump him off will that help?

Was being sarcastic.
I decided inline4's sound better when they go fast after I bought my Hyosung. Ok?
