WTF?

These are a cynical retrobike trying to capture the glory of a classic of bygone. And they are kinda cool. But jezuz! Sum of the parts etc. Maybe he's caught up in Spydas theory multiple limited production runs (this was as many as we think we could sell to reach market saturation at this price).
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

The Paul Smart replica was cool as long as comfort wasn't a factor. It's a tip of the hat to the very beginning of the Ducati factory history of racing big bikes.

Well, exactly. And enough servicing to make it seem like you were the real deal.
And no belts to change when you don't ride it for two years.
Answer 8 tanks of gas a year. Pussy.

Its interesting they still went with the Colin Seeley rear chain adjusters especially given they tsole the design and used them with out him getting a cent.
Colin did the design for the race bikes both the 500 and 750 then Ducati copied parts for the road bikes.
One of the 500's was a 4 valve design but Taglioni' never liked it so it wasn't developed when it made the same power as the 2v design, shame

Who's bok did I read? Perhaps Newcombe. . . Wasn't very charitable for Seeley. But he was English. And they can be cunts with their class oppression/masochism.

No idea what he would be loike as a person, but his designs have been in use for over half a century.
He was one of the first to do a straight run from the sterring head to the swingarm pivot in modern times for race frames.
.....Yes other greg other than HRD and FB.

Born to be mild
If I ever need to slow things down during sexy-times, I'll just drag up that image from my memory bank. Sort of the opposite of a wank-bank if you like.
For those who like it, that's fine but I think Id rather be seen on my old postie bike.
Grow older but never grow up

The other thing is it was probably 60 grand new. I'd rather buy a cool car .... yes CAR. with a stereo and a heater. Wonder how tall the rider is?
