How much tat is ok?

[weeksy]

too much for me... but none that's impossible to resolve within 20 mins.

remove rim tape, remove red bolts... the rest i could be happy with.

[KungFooBob]

Oh god, it's got those silly MotoGP switches on the bars, I'm out.

[wull]

Each to their own but fuck sake people need to sort themselves out

[DefTrap]

Anodising became deeply uncool in the 90s I think and will probably never recover.

[A_morti]

I'd keep the wheel stickers and maybe the wheelnut cover, the clutch window can stay til the next oil change. The rest needs to go immediately, so hopefully it comes with the original parts.

[MrLongbeard]

S'not too bad.
The only things that'd need to go in the bin are the switches, as previously mentioned, the oil cooler trim and the £3.50 mirrors

[KungFooBob]

It's gone full Bellwood, never go full Bellwood.

It's even got a side stand foot enlarger.

[Mr Moofo]

the rim stickers need to go ...
I have no idea what that Xbox controller is doing on the bars.

The rest of the anodised tat can just be palmed of on eBay.
We ducatisti don't used anodised frame plugs - when plastic frame plus can be bought from eBay for next to nothing - and look way better!

What is the white dripping gunk above the clutch? (keep it holy, there might be children here)

[Taipan]

Dunno what the smarties on the handlebars are but they'd have to go. The rest I could live with? I normally only like plain bikes and even destickered ones. But my MT came with contrasting dayglo things on and i've grown to really like them?!

[Demannu]

Ditch the anodised bolts and smarties TM Taipan and it's ok.
Hardly the 'pinnacle' though, more of a tump!

[Skub]

There's a decent bike underneath the Ali G Express gee-gaws.

13.5k for a soon to be 6 year old bike would put me off more than the tat.

[ZRX61]

Looks far too busy, but then again so do a lot of bikes these days. The pinnacle for Ducati was the '79 900SS

Looks a bit of ragged heat proof material.

If you're spending that much on anodised guff why not polish the exhausts and use a proper exhaust clamp rather than a hose clamp?

[Screwdriver]

Gedankenexperiment.

Look at that bike and then imagine who would ride such a machine, Sum them up in one word. What is that word?

[MingtheMerciless]

Needs exhaust tape and then it’d be perfect (says my inner magpie).

[ZRX61]

Yanno, I'm sat here looking at that creation trying to find SOMETHING that I would put on one of my bikes... & the only thing I can come up with is the oil sight window below the clutch.

[mboy]

Empirical proof that money doesn't buy taste!

Dear god that's nasty...

And 13.5 large for a 5yr old Monster 1200 R!!!
