Well as we've been doing Ducati talk lately, here's an early Xmas pressie for the fans of Bologna

Okay apart from the cats bum of an exhaust

Quite possibly the only acceptable instance of red ano levers I can remember seeing.

Very nice.

Very nice. I'd have gone for Brembo calipers and plain black or grey levers, but that's nitpicking.

But the big no-no is exposed belts. All it takes is an errant stone and the motor is toast. Madness not to fit the belt covers.

YOu say that every time, yet 50% of the builders don't use them... It can't be a common thing otherwise none of them would.

It may be simply that they always whip the covers off for photos.

If the bike is destined to be an ornament, no problems. If it's going to be used it really is playing Russian roulette. I know it all looks very gnarly and steampunk, but it's just more than a bit silly. If they took 'em off for the photos that's also fine, of course.

Your spidey sense tingles at dirty bikes, mine tingles at exposed Ducati belts...

Looks ok - very much an homage to the MHR one the did of the Sport Classic. But -10 house points fro all the rubbish stickers

[Taipan]

Hideous!

To me it looks like something that might be put together from a box of Lego Technics
