It's basically a sound bike, but the builder has gone completely overboard on the red tat. I mean, he's even painted the shock body and compression bottle red! Take all the red shit off (brake hoses, calipers, clutch, rim tape, shock etc.) and leave just the frame red and it would look much better.

And get rid of that stupid 'Edizione Speciale' bollocks.

Ducati would have been fine if they'd just stopped working on it 6 months sooner.

I think it looks horrible even if the picture was in black and white.

It's an eyesore as it stands, but it's redeeemable. But you'd need to reverse all the builder's 'improvements'.

I do wish ebay would just return results that have the search terms in the title of the listing, it;s been getting worse lately.

Literally the first result...

And it gets even more random if you start excluding keywords.

I know I'm probably wasting time and effort but I give them one star once a day when I do a search and tell them why.

I think I've seen/heard of something else similar. There's something perverse about putting car engines in bikes....

Not the maddest thing to do to a broken down Square Four with a sidecar.
