He said," It will produce 340 bhp in bip form (410bhp with termi's and new air filters), and it will only weigh 49.5 kilos,cost about £2349.50 (to be confirmed) plus on the road charges, and Ducati will offer 999/749 owners preferential orders and give them full retail money for their trade-ins. Oh, and it looked absolutley fantastic,much better than that old knacker 999.
He asked me what I thought about it, I said, "to be honest Pierre,I'm waiting to see if Honda are bringing out a new big bore c90(rumored to be 105cc,saw some spy shots on the web and read some good figures for it on a forum!),as this was about the level of my riding ability and the new ducati would be lost on me!" |
Did you get a go on it???
