Very nice.

**marioc** · 26th September 2008, 09:23

ohh yes any idea on the landing price for those?

**avgas** · 26th September 2008, 09:36

looking good - i notice they used Bezzi's headlight and the American designers tail.

**scorry** · 26th September 2008, 09:38

its pretty light, 168kg which i am guessing is dry weight?
but only 95hp out of an 1100?

There you go Martin, Put your hand up and tell work that you will be quiet happy to put 1 of those around the race track so everyone gets to see how classy it does look and sound and that you would be more than happy to race for a full season next year on it promoting it the way it should be promoted. What a great way to get back on a bike and back into the racing scene. You never know if you dont give it a go. Ducati's Rule.

bugger .......i was hoping for something about Monster Trucks.....

**mnkyboy** · 26th September 2008, 13:26

I'm sorely tempted by the 696 but that 1100 looks damn sexy as well

Wonder what the price will be? I'd imagine about the 21k mark

**Sparky Bills** · 26th September 2008, 20:38

They were only released last night, so there are no prices yet.

I think it would be a fantastic bike!
95hp to be honest is more than enough for this style bike. You ever ridden a Hypermotard? Same thing really.

Racebike? Na, got a cbr coming for that

Would happily race an 848/1098 though!

Nah, sorry mate, they've had....what a decade and a half?.... to think about a replacement and it looks worse than the old jobby, at least from the back anyway. So much weight, so high on a bike is just dumb thinking.

**idb** · 26th September 2008, 22:34

I think it's the best looking M yet...but that's just me...

Dumb thing may be true if you wanted to race

If however like me its about looks - rider position - and "wank factor" then it's not necessarily dumb thinking

I don't need or want a race bike - I want "WANK VALUE"

I can't get this site to work for me..

Edit: Oh finally, now it goes.
They should be burned for using a bloody flash intro...

The subframe looks better than the concept's since it's black and you can't see it. They should do that to the pillion peg hangers as well. They really do look horrible.
