Hugely modified 999 in this months PB. Thorsten Durbahn bike is very radically different from showroom. Worth the £2.50 just for that article.

Evry time I see that it just looks better and better. If ducati made that., then there would be HUGE rush to the showrooms me thinks..

Ugh! I may be in a minority here but I don' t like it at all.

Just looks plasticky and Japanese to me. And the Style Police should be called just for those coloured baubles on the wheels. There's certainly nothing inspired about it, if it wasn't for the all-in-black it's be entirely un-noticeable.

If you buy PB just dont read the times for the 999 and 749 round their track. Disappointing.

Ayup. Not particularly nice overall, especially the nose and tail, which looks like a trackday bodge-up.

Andy, I'd completely forgotten that! Thanks for reminding me! :rolleye:

:lol:

(And it was only that one TD at Rocky that needed a serious bodge - thanks again for the loan of the clutch.)

Maybe. Which of the other ones are you referring to? :frog:

Oh yeah, can I have your lower fork yoke, Andy? You can have mine in exchange. It's been modified and I know you like mods. :P
