Yes, MCN said they were a bluey colour but I thought they were dark grey. Anyway, does that matter, surely if you're having an S you're gonna stick termi carbons on? I saw the pipes today in Motorapido, awesome, little allen key bolt to remove the baffles, bloody light as well!

Now that's a considerate touch - the allen key baffle removal. That is listening to real world riders and making something for them.

Nice one Ducati. I want an S!

So do I.

Having read the artical, they (the designers and people involved) are really giving the 999 a load of stick, unjustly sometimes...

I personally dont think the 999 is that bad, after Troy won WSB 06 on it.

The 1098 is a seriously sexy bike though...and the S is the one to have...

Oh Keefy, you're such a stick in the mud with your antique 999!

Way TOO much information...

I managed to get hold of Bike mag after visiting 5 shops and it was the last one.
Well worth getting, very informative and some great pictures from varying angles.......... I talking about Bike mag, not a mag from the "Top Shelf"

P.S. It ain't me who bends the corners.

No matter this edition of Bike is definately Bike P0rn!!!
