Ducati Muscle bike

[robmac]

What do you all think of this? I reckon it has heaps of potential and the fact that Pirelli is developing a more triangular profile rear 240 tyre is a good thing if you're into a bit of handling..

Looks like the bloke is going to brake down on the way back to universal studios.

[nick76]

I've seen afew of those pics floating around various mags,and i don't mind it.

[2ndclasscitizen]

They need to do something to fill the space between the end of the frame and the edge of the tyre.

[VFighteR]

still prefer the new monster.....looks ok but! lol

[robmac]

If the back end goes through ADR's as it is it opens up some options for us!

[RevHead]

looks like harley tractors are helping on this project ,,bahahaha

[rock hard]

GHEY AS FUCK...and i work on em .. if you want a vrod go and buy one

[Weaselman]

Yeah rock it does look like its a shamless attempt to cash in on the V Rod and M109 market

[puppet]

So why does everybody in here bag anything that Ducati does? I seem to remember a few WSB and MOTO GP titles,must be doing something ok. Then there is the Streetfighter that nobody likes "you don't buy a factory streetfighter you build one". So tell me then, there are a few owners of Triumph Speed Triples that are "Factory built streetfighters" that are acceptable and not critiicised, so how does that work? Please explain.

[Shadowzone]

I don't like the look of that bike, but I do love Ducati's in general. I just can't afford one. As for the Factory fighters? I don't give a hoot either way, the Fazers are a good fun machine as are speed triples, monsters, and well just about all of them. Then again I don't much mind what I ride or what anyone else rides for that matter, if you're on a bike that's good enough for me.

[rock hard]

HeyPuppet, i can only speak for myself in regards to ducati and i love the fuckin things BUT i think this pathetic attempt at a Cruiser is as ghey as fuck because ducati build sportsbikes and yes they do good at wsb and motogp.so why try to build this monstrosity its all about respect. triumph has just looked hard from the start with the speed trip thank fuck Harley didnt stick a twin cam in a MVframe same thing..as this criuser.at the end of the day you ride what you like but it may not be popular

[Weaselman]

I owned a ducati and it was one of the worst bikes ive ever owned personally. And I bought it new.

[puppet]

I bought a brand new Speed Triple in 05 and sold it 4 weeks later. Loved the look of it, just couldn't live with it. Vague to say the least, everything about it had a time delay. We were never on the same page.

[Weaselman]

My duke just fell apart. Worst build quality ive ever seen.

[rock hard]

sadly weasle yours is a common story its totaly unaceptable for this to happen in 2010 but i see alot of it.sad realy as a lot of people get burnt and im sure they wont buy another..

Fuck me, having that crystal ball must be handy. What are they due to bring out in 10 years that you're not going to like??

So you don't like some of the pretentious buggers that ride them, fine. But how the fuck can you not like that v-twin power/torque/sound? Can you imagine having a latte machine in ur kitchen that sounded like twin termi's at 9000rpm ;)

[NoZ]

zorst met mr angle grinder... I love ducatis... not sure about this beastie though

06 monster DS

[STK51]

1098 are a bloody dream ride, you make your own corners. but its like comparing oranges to apples to the inline jap bikes. The only thing i miss is the 14-1/2 redline sound (R1)! other than that, happy as a dog with a empty coke bottle! it surprised alot of my riding mates, while you under cut them on the corners. still will never own a harley (air compressor) or try to make my bikes look like one!!!

[el sammo]

my mums got a 900ss ive borrowed it a couple of times it was ok to ride, not fast but sounded sweet

if i was baller rich i think id have a 1098 purely because they look amazing, ducati has been smart enough to get its bikes into several top biling movies so now when a general public member has $$$ and wants a bike ducati is what they buy..

sort of like ferrari and porsche but for bikes, no one cares that the build quality sucks because everyone knows there expensive and cool and sound good

[NoZ]

my auntie had an old 900ss and she was the only one who could kick it over. I've always loved ducatis, never had one but would if I had the chance and the know-how to fix it.

[HOOTZ]

that fucker looks like pus....actually, pus looks better.lol

I'd be happy as to ride that over any cruiser out there.. Well done Ducati..

[sen]

It's an alright looking bike, but you just know it's going to cost $40k.

There's no way we're seeing it with that rear end though. If we do, fuck yeah.. means we can use it to argue for clear LED indicators, numberplates mounted off swinger, etc.

I also love how the rear pegs are hidden. I thought it was a single seater til I looked real close.

I fully agree mate :D we can only hope.

[rock hard]

still ghey as fuck...looks like a vrod with a bigger fuel tank cover.whats the point?if you want a"power cruiser" buy a yamaha MT01 at least they have some MONGREL about them..

[hypo ss]

as a duc owner i cant see the point! would like to strip it down and recycle

[mozza]

I know I'm going against the grain here, but, I like It, I wouldn't buy one, but I do like it !

[STK51]

Test rode one on Saturday. They are fckn AWESOME....!!!

[Gix11]

Seen a few around and they always get my attention.

[STK51]

Going back on Saturday to get the Duc a service & get another test ride... (one goes in & the other comes out... Maybe...??)

Was out the front of my local bike shop the other day..... not a fan.

[xa-mont]

i think side profile is OK... but the front, and the back and the idea are all retarded beyond belief.

On another good note though... they sound MINT!

[Johnnie5]

the red doesnt work for me

but the carbon mmmmm

and i fit on it just nicely and the pillion fitted very nice
