Default Couple of pics of my new toy

No not the dog

Been looking for ages for one at the right price...the Ferrari of bikes and i must say it handles very well and goes extremely fast due to it being chipped for the pipes...the torque from the v-twin is awesome.Its actually runs a weber ECU just like the Cossie looks the same...plus it runs what looks like 2 grp A coils..plus a PF09 TPS...didnt realise they were fuel injection until i found that little lot!!!!...Now i am gonna go out on a limb here and say that this bike looks more sexy than ZTee24..

Nice Phil, you've been looking for a while on a bike you had no clue on??(I.E it has Fuel Injection)
and the only reason why your Italian is Sexier than my Italian is cause you can mount that one!
I'm thinking about getting the new 749 myself

Fastmaul...i am a 2 stroke fanatic...in love and motorbikes ROFL......all i said to myself one day was..i gonna have a Duke one day when i get the right priced one come up...wernt interested in specs as i wanted it just for looks All my mates said NOOOOOOOOOOO they break down too much....to that i say..i will be the fooking sexiest combination on the side of the road then ...

I got the official Ducati worshop manual too,which means DIY heaven

Takes a bit to get used to though as it dont like going slow round corners and you have to watch the v-twin grunt out of corners...first gear is long and boy could i flip it


Rudey...i put that in there to make people think i am super fit

Nice bike Phil!

I prefer the newer Suzuki and Kwaka bikes now though.... 916 is too small for me being 6ft 6ins!!!

I love the look of the Dukes but I fucking hate the sound the V-twins make.

Nice bike though, have fun with her!

My Dad's mate had one ... was a VERY special piece of kit I tell ya. 99% of it was off of Troy Corser's race bike. Had it magazine featured etc. Spent thousands on it (And I mean thousands!!)

Went out for a blast one day, broke down ( nothing unusual there!!) so he walked to the nearest Petrol Station (can't remember what for now) but by the time he got back, the bike had been nicked!!!!

Some low life fucking scums had obviously seen it in the mag and just slung it in the back of a van or something.

Absolute fuckers.

As you can imagine, he wasn't a happy bunny!!

916 are nice bikes.

Great corner speed, bit slow steering for me and am not a twin fan but great bike all the same.

2 things

Get the belts changed if they not been done recently

Things will vibrate loose so keep an eye on little things like that

Deffo a bike you have to keep on top of rather than just ride and forget

Certainly a bike as you describe gurnE its fooking lovely on fast roads but round town its a pig..vibrates a goodun its very uncomfortable at slow speed....it gets fooking hot...but hey its like having the most beautiful woman on your side but has bad breath...you cant have everything

Nice Bike there Phil ,

I do Like the Ducati's, the 999 must be the best looking.............



But the best looking bike has to be this one like Deano's MV F4 SPR Senna..........



More picture are in the Motorcycle forum.
