It was Nuke's on ACH.
Duh, that's actually what I meant. I bet that guy (or girl) had a fun ride through the crest... (probably the same guy who showed up at the SoCal tech day actually).
Or just rode it up from PI
ps. How you been doing April?
Awww man, I was gonna ride ACH today too but got lazy (it's 45 mins away from me thru LA) and cruised PCH a bit instead enjoying the nice warm/cool-ish ocean air. Would have scrapped all that to see (and hear) the 'sedici in person. Still have yet to hear one with the Termi kit in person, there was one up at SoCal Ducati in Brea but the owner didn't show up while I was there.
i am finally gonna meet one in person on 5/17.
my dealer is having their yearly open house, and the son (father / son business) got his hands on one.
cant wait. maybe he will let me twist the throttle or something. ;:|
YEA BIKE PORN!
herm - don't forget your video camera! Maybe if you wear some of those velour pants all the mob guys wear he'll even let you sit on it... of course it would be hard to hide the major semi you're gonna have hahaha

if he lets me sit on it im gonna do it in my brithday suit :e:v
they sound AWESOME in person.
if I could find a way to make power toothbrushes sound like that.... I'd sell 11tyb of them... at 40 bucks a pop.
Now that's a great idea. ;D
That is just so hot.
Wow!!! way to go for a ride in one of those,can't wait to see one in person,in fact a guy i know is just waiting for his to be delivered.Ummm....oh well,wishful thinking ;)
Went out last weekend with my mate who has one of these, it makes a fabulous noise.Spins up really quickly too which made going through traffic a hoot as he blipped the throttle.Its a sharp sort of noise,very different from the other Ducatis who were also there and not even the loudest,that was a GT1000 with termi open pipes and for sheer volume that took the prize. [cheeky]

Saw one today up in the bay area. First in the parking lot across from Alices, then at speed in a turn and again while we were eating.
The rider was wearing...... wait for it......
A Yamaha jacket and khakis! NICE! [laugh]
I've seen a few as they come through the dealership here in OKC, but none on the street. Sweet ride [evil]
that is VeRY sexy indeed :-*
i've never seen one irl either...
If I saw that bike next to the curb, I would have waited around just to hear the owner fire it up. I saw one in the showroom of Munroe Motors, SF about 3 months ago. Beautiful. :o I read on the ducati.com site about the extensive use of carbon fiber on the bike, but noticed the wheels weren't CF. Thought that was weird, for $72,500 you'd think they would just come standard on a street legal track bike.
Sexy, words escape me now [thumbsup]
Well I was in the one and only Ducati Dealer in Adelaide, South Australia today and they had two on the showroom floor. The owner had been out on one of them the day before and well...mmm.. he is now riding it.. lol... They look and sound sensational. Not sure that at $100K in Australia I will be getting me one thou... SWEET Bike..
That bike would get me in SO much trouble.
So f*cking hot!
Sorry I don't find it any better looking than the 1098. I got a chance to see one at the dealers.
Now if you are talking exotic and exclusive that's a different matter.

and where did you see this? location wise?
It's nice that so many people are seeing these on the road, i think we all pretty much figured the bulk of them would wind up garage queens.

Agreed! Maybe this is just foolishness because I can't afford either, but I'd prefer the 1098R. Granted, the D`6RR is amazing technically, but aesthetically it doesn't scream "DUCATI" to me.
