Simons bike wasnt meant to cost what it did but he followed it through as the first designs show. Fact is it got better as it went along and expensive as things were adapted like exhausts. Not cheap to employ someone to cut and weld your cans. It is truly beautiful and I followed its path with much interest and was privalaged to see its first outing when he came out to our meet. The bike brought much attention. It is still very simple and much of the look is the colour scheme.The aggressiveness of the alien front end should be noted by DUCATI for the future. It is worthy of taking the prize just for the effort put in.
