A bike with such a bad paint job the first owner didn't even ride it before poking his eyes out with a stick and therefore needing to sell it

I'm trying to think how that is better than a standard Hornet, I can't think of anything redeeming about it

Yoshimura stickers add at least £2k and 15bhp.

Yoshimura stickers on a Honda, FFS any fool knows it's Moriwaki stickers on a Honda.

Just remembered, I've got an HRC throttle tube that would fit on that Hornet, they could have had genuine Honda race parts on it, I had it on my CB400SF, yep a 60,000 bike commuter bike with HRC parts.

I spotted this the other day and had to slap myself when I started to think it would make a nice little pootler...

Was what I said to the proprietor of the Ducati garage when they had one in there when I went to pick up my SFV2... Bear in mind it's just an SFV4 with a gopping paint job, some tacky wheels, and a limited number plaque and a tenuous link to Lamborghini and they were charging people 2.5x the price for them over a normal SFV4 (which isn't a cheap bike anyway!) when new...

Only of any value to anyone who's a Lamborghini nut that's also into motorbikes sadly for the owners... Which as a Ducati fan absolutely grips my shit as it's just a tacky sell out model rather than an actual Halo bike...

So, potentially, a powered advertising slogan? Created at relatively low cost yet generating lots of attention, some possibly from Lambo owners for whom it will cost relatively little - or they might see other models and buy one of those instead.

And bonus payback if they sell any.
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:

Yup

EVERYTHING I hate about modern consumerism, and I'm even more pissed off that Ducati pander to this bullshit... But there we go!

Another couple from the Dungdeal Vintage Bikes listing.

First is a Honda XLR250 Baja, purely for the comedy value of the front mudguard -

And next is an abomination of a Triumph T140 -
