Anyone ever heard of this bike? It's a limited edition, only 100 made, and sold exclusively by Neiman Marcus. Anyone? Buhler?
Yep. There were only 100 made, sold by Neiman Marcus [thumbsup]
NM does a limited release vehicle every year for the holidays. Last year I beleive it was a 6 series BMW. There was a 748L on craigslist last year as well.
They are your basic 748 but they were silver in color. You see them occasionally on ebay motors too.

never heard of it before today, boot cool nonetheless...
I think Frank at SW Choppers, had one or sold one or something...
Silver, biposto, a few upgrades here and there. A little kitschy but will retain some collector value. I happen to love the silver ducatis (900ss FE for instance)

[thumbsup] silver Ducatis good.
Cory tells me he doesn't like square headlights, though. :(
The FE SS looks great. I was talking to giannis about it at the 696 open house

Frank closed down.

Hey Rich, how's the SS doing? Is it ready for HC? Will it be there for the Sunday BBQ @ Alan's place?

took it over to Ryan's on tuesday to hang out and have a few complimentary beers [beer] bryant took it for a spin around the block and i think it met with his approval. i'll be hanging out at b8's garage saturday starting early to help out with a chock install on his truck, and do a little bike-prep on both our bikes. if all goes well i'll try to make it out to LYD's sunday. i have pooch-watching responsibilities, though, so i may end up taking him to the park, since he's been basically in his kenel all week, and will be there most all of saturday :-\
oh, and i have a set of PP's (thanks Scott!) and a new Pirelli rear...so i'm good on tires for now. and ordered oil, filter, spark plugs, Dynacoils, and a new sealed Yuasa battery for her. also have a bunch of parts from a part out of an SS (seat, clutch pack, and more!).
also have my stop n go flat kit, and cycle pump! [thumbsup] there's some other stuff that i'll be tackling soon, too....so much to do.
Is she still running hot?

They have a 748L at Ntx BMW (ducati) in Plano. #40/100. Neat, but no big performance upgrades, just a "limited" edition. Not worth it to me. A colector maybe. I know I'd love a 748 for the track, but that's not the one.

Yeah. I was just surprised, I never knew one of these things existed. It would be cool to have as a collector but I'm with you, it'd be mantlepiece decor, and not a rider.
