Wow that is sweet! But not so sweet at £35k....

I've aded photos from the press kit, tech spec and exhaust soundtrack on Upnorth

Pity they don't say how much it weighs ...

Still, a 200bhp+ gear driven cam V4 would sound awesome!

bearing in mind that most Ducati dealers and their technicians are sh*te - who would you trust to service/fettle it????

exactly!! i wish i lived nearer too the midlands..........


was very seriously thinking about one but decided against it after getting rogered with the 999r! £35k is 10k too much imho.
It would be a shame to thrash such an exquisite bike within an inch of its life but it would just have to be done!
I get the feeling anyone buying one wont suffer the depreciation nightmare of the early 999r, but once bitten!
Now if it was £25k then i would have gone for it.

No bike is worth 35k for the road............honestly how and where are you going to use a 35k superbike.?.....its OTT....18500 for a 999r is surely enough aint it.?

maybe to put it in the lounge and look at it.......and what a waste that would be...

Sure its awesome but is it really practical in any small way at all.

35k would give you 2/3 years in powerbike MRO................

its fashion motorcycling gone mad.........35k on a Sedeci RR.........whats next a T-**** " i own a Sedeci RR its in the house ".............

Madness

part of me agrees and then the other part of me looks at sports cars.. or in fact any car or bike or house even above what you actually need.

Why pay more for anything than is needed?

People spend tens (and even hundreds) of thousands on cars that you can still only do the speed limit in and you could do that in a second hand KIA costing 500 quid!

I would love a DB9 or a 911, but realistically my golf is far more practical, but if I had the cash would i buy a porsche? HELL YEAH!

It's all about desire and if someone desires something and has the money then why not I say.

I would have one if they had put colour coded mirrors on it.Now,i'll just stick with what i've got!!
