stylish
and very Ducati

if you are talking about the exhaust ?
then they don't come out the top on the sedici
they come straight out the back like the 916
but it also has some side exhaust which come out the fairing.
I would be interested in seeing that.
but the problem with the road bike is you have to fit on a road legal exhaust and Cat

the road bike sedici exits top of the tail unit dosen't it ?

[keefer]

I
sorry the road bike does have the top exhaust but doesn't have the side ones

Still not much good if you have a bip
maybe they could do a upgrade kit ?

I think you will find they have no intention of doing a 'bip' 'sedici Keefer-apart from the one that Randy Mamola rides................

Would be a good to have done it that way for the mono and done it the 916 way for the bip. A superbike aint a superbike when its carrying pillion.

love it - much better on the eye IMO than the 749/999 series, just need to persuade the missus...

i dont dislike the new bike i just dont think it is a leap forward like it should be apart from the engine that is i bought my 999 because i thought it was a completly new and different bike from my 748 and it was i just dont think the 1098 is. think the the rear end on me 999 is like nothing else out there twin pipes (r1 zx10 bmw)
