Got more money than sense?

Post by KungFooBob »

Ducati have just launched a service aimed directly at you.

https://www.ducati.com/ww/en/news/intro ... oi1tvPotqI

Ducati announces the creation of Ducati Unica, the new customization program dedicated to those who want to design and build their own exclusive and unique motorcycle.

With Ducati Unica, the Centro Stile Ducati opens its doors to Ducatisti and accompanies them in the realization of their dream: to collaborate directly with designers and technicians to create a motorcycle that will be a unique piece in the world.

Ducatisti who join the program will be able to enter the Ducati Centro Stile atelier in person, describe their desires to the designers and follow, during periodical visits, the progress of their motorcycles, experiencing first-hand the level of dedication and attention to detail that Ducati reserves for each customization project.

So what would you have the factory build?

I want a Panigale with pink seat stitching.

"Hi, is that Unica?"

"You do v-twins, right?"

"Can you build me an NTV650?"

"With a suede seat"

I've got more money than sense, but that'll still be true when I'm down to my last penny.

I can bung you a fiver if it will help tip the balance?

You need to bung him an additional tongue or something.

Wouldn't that be lovely though? A V without half the gubbins hanging out and all the electrics nicely tucked away. And shaft drive!

Have Ducati ever done a shaft?

I wonder what the R&D bill would be?

I bet there's like a Ducati tractor, typewriter or cement mixer or something from about 1936 with a shaft.

Can you imagine the shite people will get the factory to make. This will be rich people. The type of people who chrome Bentley's or have pastel blue Lambo's and salmon pink Ferrari's. That's before you get to Range Rovers with extra wheels made of gold.
