Could Ducati be building a street cruiser to compete against the likes of Harley-Davidson? That’s the rumor behind the so-called Ducati Vyper, which was started by a statement made by Ducati boss Claudio Domenicali, who revealed that Ducati is looking to branch out into a wider market. The 1400cc 170hp prototype is said to be already in running form, and has started preliminary tests at the Bologna factory.

Oh God, no!

[R6_kid]

looks like a lowered version of the Ducati Streetfighter with 6in risers on it. Guess it looks ok though.

Edit: chrome mirrors on a duc? Obviously photoshopped by an American!

[greminn]

Oh God, no!

Yes.. that is what i kind of thought.

[ital916]

I made some adjustments...thats better.

[Zoolander]

I think a more appropriate "adjustment" for that abomination, should it ever be spawned in real life, would be a can of gas and a box of matches....

[McJim]

Fuggit - Matt black throughout and I'd hit it!

[Dooly]

Oh my................:dodge:

[greminn]

I made some adjustments...thats better.

And even betterer

Are you crying yet?

[EatOrBeEaten]

:( First the hypermotard, now this.

Why do you test my love so, Ducati? WHYYYYYY!!!!?? :crybaby:

[Katman]

And even betterer

Are you crying yet?

Can I see it with a sissy bar please?

[nudemetalz]

Can I see it with a sissy bar please?

and a hand (suicide?) gearchange lever ....

[EJK]

:( First the hypermotard, now this.

Whats wrong with the Hypermotard? :)

[greminn]

Can I see it with a sissy bar please?

OK.. thought id get rid of that horrible front light and, since its a cruizer... you need a big arse fucken screen, as well as a place you can put the misses after you beat her up for being lippy.

[ducatilover]

Dear lord....I am certain a limp wrist doughnut punching plughole rammer designed that

[McWild]

Needs more tassles!

Tassles right all wrongs!!!

[ducatilover]

Can somebody give it sweep up pipes and a set of carbon wheels?:dodge:

[AllanB]

Well.......fuck yas I'm liking the look.

It's a bit hot rod, and a dam sight spunkier than the whale of a V-Max or the carbon copies of HD's out there.

170hp on a street cruiser - woo baby - that's enough to peel off ones foreskin.

But....

I still have the BMW low-rider (concept bike) on my want list. First BMW to give me a ............

[98tls]

:killingme:killingme:killingmeBring it on,the foggy wannabies at rallys are getting boring,can only imagine what kind of ego would show up on one of those.

[marioc]

Sexy.....I like it

For some strange reason, this reminds me of an angry little man. You know those short little fucks (like myself) who are all bark and try to act like a big man all the time. Yea.... one of those.

Dunno why, guess it just looks like a sports bike trying to be a big tough cruiser.

[Metalor]

That being said though, I'd still have a go one one :P

[dipshit]

Why does everyone have to copy American wank culture...???

[ducatilover]

Because wanking is fun:scooter:

[dipshit]

Not when you're doing it in public.

[dipshit]

Unless of course you are American.

[Owl]

Another couple of pics and you'll have a BMW!:clap:

[gatch]

I'd hit that.

[AD345]

I'd hit that.

I would too



The question now is:

9 iron or good old 4X2?

[Tone165]

I bet that thing could get round a corner as well.

Love the "KB Improvement" pics!!!

I like VW Rikes..cos turning a car into a bike is a noble endevour...but bike based trikes...turning a bike into a car?

thats just sick sick sick!

Im sure Ducati are looking at the $$$$ that get spent on cruisers...but why bother building a cruiser that actually handles?

The only ppl that want to ride cruisers are clearly not interested in handling, or capable of riding at any more than a basic level.

Im sure they will sell lots, just for Snob value, but Ducati are playing with fire building a "Joke" bike.

[Metalor]

Not when you're doing it in public.

Voyeur :)




*********

[dipshit]

Wouldn't that be an exhibitionist..?

[Metalor]

Was meaning you're the voyeur, haha! You don't have to like to be watching it!

[Blatman]

saw this pic of it online, they're saying 170hp and lookin to take on the new V-Max

[2_SL0]

LOL, well if I was going to buy a cruiser thats the sort of cruiser I would buy.

[greminn]

saw this pic of it online, they're saying 170hp and lookin to take on the new V-Max

That lookks prety cool!

[Metalor]

saw this pic of it online, they're saying 170hp and lookin to take on the new V-Max

Shit, this is a waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more becoming pic of it! Would definitely fuck that bike!

[idb]

Maybe they're worried about keeping up with their neighbours - MV Davidson?

[Ooky]

oops! repost :( didnt see the pic above im a blind bastard!

[The Lone Rider]

It makes me think of a Vmax....

[ducatilover]

It makes me think of a Vmax....

except with less power and probably costs more...I love dukes:bleh:

[The Lone Rider]

I was thinking more along the lines of it being a "confused" bike.

I've always referred to the Vmax as the transexual of bikes.

Yes, except the vmax of new has large balls, the ducati in question is a better done drag queen, pretty but still big balls:rockon::mellow:

[LBD]

Um...no

Confused bike does sum it up for me. 170 ponies, 1400cc, bet it is quite the stump puller. Drag strip queen would be more like it.

Looks like it would be a bit lighter than your average cruiser

Imagine that power house in a street fighter...now that wold be something.

[SPman]

Yes, except the vmax of new has large balls,:mellow:
And a large gut to go with it!

A bit like the rider of the only one I've seen around ......

[crusa]

OK.. thought id get rid of that horrible front light and, since its a cruizer... you need a big arse fucken screen, as well as a place you can put the misses after you beat her up for being lippy.

Wheres the highway pegs ?

[Blatman]

ah, this is a bit off subject but saw this pic online and....mmmmm.... ;)

[gatch]

where can i get a test ride on this one..
