Well at least you know it would be clean ;);)

Yeti,I think that`s true for a lot of folks,they have what they want,but it`s not quite how they want it.

New V4 Ducati .... as and when it appears for sale.

Road bike - 888SPS

Race bike for the conservatory - Cagiva C594 or foggys '97 WSB racer :D

Carbon,I reckon that`s why they cancelled WDW2006,can`t get the V4 ready in time to give to the first buyer......................

Er i have one of mine already, but next one has to be a RC45 just to see how it compares. Am sure it will be quicker but i suspect the 30 has the edge in rawness.
At the risk of getting shot, i also do actually use my RC30 too, here is a pic from a ride out today. It was worse after following a few wagons throwing mud and allsorts at me, but the following 40 miles of rain and road salt washed off the worst

*** ducks and runs for cover ***

RobB & Dibble, if you get the chance of one get it bought. not only is it a safe investment, but they are great fun to ride. I have ridden quite a bit of new stuff and still believe that 100 bhp on the road in a good chassis is more than enough and makes sound sense as a road bike. these are just superb fun and the best bit is, no one batts an eyelid at you, a real street sleeper as its just another 400 but it sure shocks a few people as you howl past playing the V4 orchestra. Beg or borrow if you have to, if you dont take to it you can sell it on easily and command your own price to a certain extent too

Paul,that would be the dream bike for a lot of people,you`re a lucky man..enjoy

Sparkin, i know mate and i know how lucky i am. I dont earn vast sums of money, but i save and spend as much as poss on what gives me the most pleasure. I have wanted one for years and after all the NC30's it was the icing on the cake, i had the chance of one and took it. It put me 7k in the red, and still am 2.5k 12 months on but you only live once and it would probably be the only chance in my life to get one and i dont regret it for an instant. I feel quilty rabbiting on about them, but everyone who rides one / mine goes the same way. Its just one of those bikes that on paper is not exactly great, but in reality its superb. more than the sum of its parts, it just seems to work so well. I guess thats why they are so sought after even today.
I am a lucky git to have one, but i am paying the price though. 99% of people just couldnt commit to owing one, each to our own i guess

id have a Tamburini & Every Ducati model ever made in my big Garage.

Well that`s brand loyalty for ya:)
