I ordered 5 of 'em.

Each in a different color so I could coordinate them with whatever I'm wearing that day.

At least they got Hailwood's number right. Ah... why is this worth $85,000+ more than a New Blue?? Isn't this basically the same bike? You can own a New Blue with every option AND a Desmosedici AND a tanker of 93 octane at today's prices for that kind of $$$! :P

Inflation?  Euro to dollar exchange?  Mike Hailwood's wife being in on the deal this time, cuz Ducati forgot to ask her the first time?  (DISCLAIMER: my rumor)

So, if you had $130K in a bag under the bed that you didn't want the IRS to know about, this would clean it up very nicely. 

Or if the bag was making your bed lumpy, this would take that lump of dough and make for a great conversation piece in the living room.  People would stare at it and wonder who among them should have you commited to the state hospital for the hopelessly but affectionately insame.   ;D

That titanium frame though is really purdy.

One went last year for over $81K!! I'll settle for my basket case '77 900SS Berliner Import with the jackshaft conversion right to left hand shifter... that would be for those not old enough to remember the 1976 law that made all bikes shift on the left all over the world.  [moto]
