Pretty rich coming from you mate....."Magnesium cyclinder heads"......

[Crasherfromwayback]

fuck Postie, you're a marketing mans dream.

Dunno....but it's already got it's fair share of tossbags.....it's got "Magnesium cyl heads" mate.....they'll burn real nice and bright

fair point, magnesium head covers then, to be specific. I should have just paste and copied the whole lot but then it would just be a really long post when you can just read the link yourself. I'm not trying to sell the bike, makes no difference to me. Just pointing out some good things about what should be a good bike

Well you see mate....the thing IS....if you're gonna try and shoot someone down for "not knowing what you're talking about..."...you've gotta take XTRA care that you don't make a twat of yourself doing so.....

And by the way....magnesium has been used as material for all sorts of engine covers by Suzuki since the 70's. And nitrided fork sliders? K1 1000's had it back then.....and if Suzuki wanted to sell their GSXR for 30 K, it'd have Ohlins gear on it too....

I'm hardly trying to shoot you down, and I never said that Ducati is the world leader in new inovative bike componants, I was just pointing out that they are using the best parts that they have available at the present time, since you said yourself, why buy a bike if its not the best?

By the way, I just re-read the thread from the start, and out of the two of us, I don't think I came across as the twat.

ok Postie.

If Ducati sell the 1098s with all the flash shit on it for 19,995 I'll take one.

but only in blue and white.

Sweet, but according to that link though, your choice is red, red, red or the tri colour, but the tri colour with the Ities flag will cost another $5K or more.
$30K is a high price for a bike, not as bad as the MV's though.

I don't really give a shit what you still think about the bike, but if your gonna make a comment, at least have some idea what your talking about before posting it.

Really.....good for you magnesium boy.....
You're quite right.....I should study my facts a little better....silly me.
What a twat I am. You really know YOUR stuff.

[The_Dover]

not good enough.

I want blue and white god damn it.

they can put all this flash shit on it but they can't buy a few more pots of paint.

fukin eyeties.

thirty grand? it'll be more than that.

you see, doesn't it feel better to tell the truth?? I'm glad you came round to my way of thinking.

I think Postie's doing real well to control himself at the moment. Being very diplomatic and all that. Crasher, time to back off mate, for the childrens sake.
