amazingly enough the rider has gone off and left the bike with the keys in the ignition.....imagine if it got nicked!!

Funny how the sign in the foreground is in English

With todays stage managed everything, who really knows how much of this is all for effect and promotion?




Went back and looked at the sign, so, see what I mean they want our attention and opinions!

Good observation Jeff. If it were your average punter interested in bikes you would have that bike photographed from every angle....could well all be part of the marketing hype....................having said that I have just followed the link and it llokslike it was photographed by a regular biker oh holiday in Italy.....

Like the time it was pictured in a petrol station, loads of time when the guy was away to take loads of photo's, what would happen if he came back an tried to stop you, beat you up!

Hope this is not a true representation of what the new bike will look like.It's very contemporary and not at all the bike of the future-just like a bland Honda.I realise that Ducati need to sell bikes but i hope it's not at the expense of flair and style.

I feel this is staged....

Notice how you get to see just that little bit more everytime...

I think the tank and tail will change before release, but the anticipation is a killer...

But then again I was excited last time at the thought of the 999, then me and the rest of the biking world couldnt believe how bad it looked...

Lets hope they get it right this time or its bye bye Ducati....

Its make or break this time...

So the pressure is on, you've got you hand full of sweaty notes, what do you buy?
A 999 or a Harley, where is your heart really based?
Leather chaps or just leathers?

You can't hide behind being loaded and having one just for a track bike now, that's not fair!
