I'm not into Sports Bikes and they rarely get a second look from me, but even I can't help but love the look of these! Ducati do put a lovely looking bike together!

I’ve always admired Ducati’s design flair and I still think they have produced some of the most beautiful bikes, the round case 750ss, the MHR (I still remember reading the first road test in Bike, thinking it was the most beautiful bike I’d ever seen), the first half faired 900ss, and of course the 916- all achingly pretty IMO, but this does absolutely nothing for me

Might have a punt on this. If I won it I'd just drink beer whilst looking at it, as i'd be too scared to ride it! :oops: But what abit of garden art. Sure beats some topless bird holding a vase! :lol:

What are those pipes coming out of the fork tops? I'm guess they're hydraulic and not breather tubes?!

Yeah they look much more like cables than pipes.

For some reason they remind me of nipple tassles. It's still a gorgeous bike though.

My pal here has the V4S and it goes quite well. Hoping he takes it to Portimao to see how it really goes.

I think it looks superb :thumbup:

I doubt my knees would allow me to actually fit on it but i'll happily give it a go if somebody wants to buy or loan me one :wave:

Lovely, and I'm sure it looks even better in the flesh. Personally I think the V2 is the prettiest bike in the range, closely followed by the old 899.

For me, it's the 1098. I love them I really do. I was so so so excited when I had mine.

Right until I tried to start it.

Ducati fairings are shite in the real world. Far too low. Only good on track or bedroom walls.

916 here. Ultimate narrow bike with a cocktail umbrella fairing.

I had a 996 for a bit and loved it, but also hated it cause it was rubbish on road. :D

Is it me or does it look like the Painochocolat rider brake-tested the car behind and got hit?
