Bazz, ever since last September, for some unknown reason, I just can't a Triclolore Monster out of my head.  So much so, that I now even have Tricolore loo paper........so, i guess it's inevitable that i need one of these rainbow serpents.    

I can't afford an S4RS, so the Tricolore would  be my next choice   

I should have waited for a  Tricolore before buying a boring S4RS in red

ducati 48 ts tricolore

well folks looks like i found my next bike

Now as you know I am no expert, but it looks like your 'next bike' has got a few bits missing.

I would hazard a guess and say KTM?

we have a winner very observant

Congrats Bazz ... and despite all your deliberations ... I think it is safe to say that you still ended up with a Duke!

Feel free to let us know what you think of it.

Well done Bazz. 

I reckon this one might try to throw you off if your not careful.

havent got it yet hopefully the weekend but after all the hot weather its suposed to piss down this weekend ,first thought when i seen was fark its ugly looks like something batman would ride but after riding one was very impressed in seating position and room heaps of leg room more power than i would use but its nice and tractable. the white power suspension is awesome only two things i dont like are the front brakes are too savage and i mean savage for such a tall and light bike ill be taking the sintered  pads out replace with soft ones u would be in real trouble in the wet u just touch the lever and they just bite theres no feel just hard braking and the second thing is the battery stuck in front of the exhaust when theres plenty of room under the seat  i might fix that with a lithiam battery when i get home and spend some time in the saddle ill do a better review but the main thing is its v twin cheers all

MAKE SURE YOU WARM IT UP!

And make sure the current owner warms it up, if you don't you risk turning a big end bearing, and oh yeah, KTM road bike parts make ducati parts look bargain basement.

I've rebuilt one of those from the ground up, great bike!
