fila Multistrada
 
Just interested What do you think to this?

Triple Nine 11-Jan-2004 22:57

Bet those Termi canons out the back sound good:devil:

Could see myself pulling a few wheelies on it, looks like afun bike.

Jools 12-Jan-2004 10:29

Nah....
 
Doesn't do anything for me!

But then I am one of those folks who thinks that even race rep superbikes are a bit too 'wannabee'.

In idle moments I have thought for about a nanosecond about putting some sort of graphics on my ST but then thought very quickly "nah..why bother trying to make it something it's not". This 'strada begs the same question. They're fun bikes anyway so they don't need it.

I'm with Jools on this one.
I'm not a great lover of stickers and graphic kits anyway.Sorry folks!

Nigel C 12-Jan-2004 17:50

eeewww!! why a fila kit ??? can't remember hodgson et al ever caning a multistrada round monza :o

KeefyB 12-Jan-2004 18:14

Maybe not,but Troy and Loris appear to be having fun.:D

Nigel C 12-Jan-2004 18:27

that must be the new 2004 motogp bike then :P

Fieldsheer 12-Jan-2004 20:47

The sticker kit is Boggin, apologies to anyone one that liked it. In my humble opinion it spoils the lines of the bike.

I'm with the majority on this one! It looks hellish!
I've always thought that one of the things that sets Ducati's apart from all the Jap C**p is the total lack of or need to apply any 'go-faster' swoosh and swirl stickers. As has been stated already they spoil the look and lines of the MS, or indeed any of the Duke range in my opinion!
You can't beat the appearance both in terms of style and class of an unblemished Duke... provided it's a red one of course! There, that's opened up that old colour debate! :lol:

Dibble 13-Jan-2004 10:21

what about carbon belly pans and frame plugs and that sort of stuff LWH ..?? :sing:

luckywhiteheather 13-Jan-2004 12:25

C'mon Dibble, you're havin' a larf!

You can't put carbon bits and other 'performance' related elements in same class as 'stickers'!

Least not in my book you can't! :P

Dibble 13-Jan-2004 16:57

and the performance advantage you get from your frame plugs is ....??????

:roll:

(I'm in a right sarky mood today ....)

luckywhiteheather 14-Jan-2004 10:40

Dibble....duhhhh!

Of course you get performance enhancement from frame plugs. By sealing off those cut tube ends you're eliminating those little vortices that are created when air travelling at speed passes over the open tube end. These vortices disrupt the air flow over bike and rider creating additional drag and thus reducing top speed. Furthermore at exceptionally high speeds these vortices can create lateral thrust which can induce gyroscopic eccentricity which to you and me means a 'wobble'. In extreme cases this can lead to the rider loosing control and falling off. I know it's happened to me before on track days but that was of course before I got frame plugs!

It's so obvious I'm surprised I needed to explain that to you!:lol:

So get out now and buy those plugs!
