You've got to imagine looking at a Ducati with petrol in your eyes, sheesh Maha think about it man!

[DJSin]

By similar they mean red :clap:

[Voltaire]

Worse then that...he parked it in a loading zone.

[AllanB]

Silly bugger - you can tell its a DUCATI by the Asian script on the fairing :clap:

Now that Ducati has character :2thumbsup

[Shadows]

Lazy bullshit journalism. No surprises here.

[Grizzo]

Sheesh, some people:rolleyes:

[MSTRS]

Think I know where the herald went wrong. This page comes up under a google search of 'red ducati 749 images'. :Oops:

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh but they had not (at that stage) confused a Ducati with a Busa. Huge blunder....like confusing a Mustang with a Camaro....:angry:

Oh! Was the original photo in the herald online article of a busa? It showed a Duc this morning when I looked, hence I was really confused about what you guys were banging on about! :laugh:

And worse than confusing Mustang & Camaro - more like Mustang and Ferrari! :shutup:

When I first put the link up yes, a busa was used in the pic, also in the Sunday Herald, they have now changed that pic to a 749........or similar....:laugh:

[tigertim20]

hahaha so the dickhead took a few hundred bucks from the till, and just left a $30,000 Ducati? hmmmmmm

[Shadows]

EDIT: Looks like someone has heads em' up....busa gone, ducati in.

That could be due to the bollocking email I sent them.

[Forest]

$30,000 for a used 749?

You couldn't even get that amount for a 749R.

[fizbin]

yeah i nearly laughed my ass off when i saw that pic. It is in print if they have changed the pic online. DUMB ASS!:pinch:

[Elysium]

I was so outraged I leaved a message with the chief editor :laugh: Nah not the outraged part, but I did leave a message to confirm that picture was correct.

More like confusing a Ferrari with a schoolbus.
The sad fact is that a google search for 'Ducati 749' took 0.26 seconds, and came up with a selection of photos. It would've taken the 5#!t-for-brains intern at the herald at least 7 seconds to click through to Pashnit's site and see a photo of the busa (which they pretty much just cut-n-paste).

Questions:
Why didn't the idiot just scroll down a bit after their initial search blunder?
How did the police know it was a 749 and not a 999? If they got close enough to tell the difference, what is the number plate of the bike?

Journalism at its finest.

[MsKABC]

How did the police know it was a 749 and not a 999?

Because the bike had already been report stolen - see my earlier post in this thread with a link to another thread about the bike having been stolen. It belonged to an acquaintance of someone here on KB by the sounds of it.

[Bend-it]

Shit reporting... my latest pet gripe...

And most people form their opinions based on the tripe.
