[wildcat_lgf]

[Fishy]

Could be a replacement for the CBR yah reckon?

Could be an option mate!. You find one for sale and I will test it for ya and let ya know

[Matt Bleck]

Very nice...

[sAsLEX]

Holy Crap, that is one motorcycle. Ducati have finally come out and done it again! Could this be the next 916??

Copied my NC30 they have! V4 power to the end!

BTW whats the go with the front forks??? Never seen that set up before, anyone care to explain.... Quasi... since your buying one?

I am pretty sure its a remote resivour of sorts like you get with high end rear suspension units. Or its something to do with the fact that you could prob adjust everything on them.

The way one of those articles said it might pay to get yourself a 999r first.

Kinda like you have to own a few ferraris before they would let you get a Enzo

[Lou Girardin]

Decisions, decisions, do I get one bike that does one thing better than any other, or do I get 5 that do everything?

[Mental Trousers]

I think they're torque arms. The brakes are mounted on them so that any torque produced by the brakes is taken by them instead of the main forks, simplifying the job the forks have to do.

[Quasievil]

Sorry Im lying again, dunno why just feel it appropriate, off to aussy now see ya

[emaN]

Um if you're refeering to the gold cylinders in behind the forks no, not torque arms, thats where the gas charge for the forks are stored, like a remote res on a rear shock, word has very tricky to set up right, but once you got em good, holy fuck.

And holy fuck to that bike, thats quite a machine, i dont think a bike has rolled off the production line quite like that ever before, gorgeus looking machine, would be curious to a price, $77,000 seems low to me, and production numbers, wonder how many they'll make, but fuck me thats one hell of a motorbike, balls to ducati for bringing it out, maybe the Japs can learn a thing or two and bring us a GSXR1000SP/RR model, mmmmmmmmmm

Ah righto. Seen some on a bike that reduced the torque on the forks so they didn't deform as much etc. But gas charged forks pretty bloody trick.

trick alrite, pretty much standard issue on all the ohlins shod GP bikes (250s and 125's as well), some SBK teams are running em, think Showa have something simalar to the ohlins setup. Firts time i've seen them on a road bike, feels funny calling the Desmo RR a road bike though.

Bruce is right... I looked at a set on the Ohlins website.... $10 grand US... mmm money.....

like a remote res on a rear shock,

Yam make there SP edition with Ohlins trick bits which is a step in the right direction.
