Anyone have any pics from the show this year?
The door opened 2-3 hours ago (now it's 11:30am here in Italy), but it will open tomorrow for the general public... [coffee]
I was supposed to go today, but I couldn't take the day off... So no pics from me tonight... :-\

That bike looks like a Vespa with a big-ass engine. Not a huge fan of the front end.
I wonder if it comes with a basket (for To To) and little bell that goes 'jing jing'?
Amazing how cluttered and "modern" (in a bad way) it looks.

It looks good in white. But, I may be biased. See avatar and try not to get confused. :)
i think it needs a big round headlight... [cheeky]
Wrong place.........
I think it's a shame that some of the coolest bikes from big OEMs are offered in Europe and don't get shipped to the states. Some '09 models that I'd love to see offered here in the US:
Honda Transalp:

Too much plastic and too busy. There seems to be a whole lot going on here.. [puke] I'll stick to the RS [thumbsup]
Like I said in the Street Fighter post, and IMO this bike looks much better in Black. But, the 848 looks great in white though.
Ms. Vicki from Ducati.net, the Ducati list, posted a great bunch of pics. They're copy write protected as always.
Hope this link works.

Thanks some great pictures in that gallery!
mr flanman,
the streetfighter looks awesome in black[not my cup of tea]but still awesome.my personal favorite at the show was the new 1100s monster in red with some trick ducati performance painted carbonfiber parts,plus the usual bits that monster owners adorn their bikes with.the NCR stand was a pleasure to behold,rich blokes from a queue here,guys like me just drool.the whole stand was draped in beautifully finished ducati's,WOW you didn't know which to look at first but the star of the show in my eye's was the mike hailwood TT.the rizoma stand had a few nice new parts for the ducati range and another stand www.febur.it had some really nice carbonfiber parts for ducati's. [wine]
page 12 second pic down on the link LA posted there is a homemade supermono any one have any additional info on this?

I dislike the front end as well as I mentioned in the other thread.
How do you guys like this Front ???
