Makes our little bits and pieces seem like good value.

you know the carbon airbox they are talking about (for the 999/749 amd the 1098r)....it's $2000 us!!!!

the BST's are bargains....compared to the $2700 lever!!!

I have seen a Titanium frame pre-loved for $11K US
New they are $15K US, so between frame, levers and wheels you have over $20K
Not to mention the forks and rear shock which might well be $15K plus

So $35K and we haven't even spoken of engine, brakes, bodywork, paint or all the rest of the bibs and bobs
i.e. Titanium bolts throughout etc....

So D16RR

Your next project R?? 

It looks to me that they are almost replacing everything and blueprinting the motor. Why would they have started with an R model?

Why not?

Seriously Danno ... what has given you the impression that logic has played any part whatsever in the decision making of this build?

... you could also sell the leftovers as 'R' parts I s'pose

I'm no expert on Ducati specs, but I assume the R motor would be way more special than the bog stocker or S model.  Bigger intake and exhaust ports, Ti valves, flowed heads etc???  Just guessing though 

When I read the blog I was amazed how little Ducati was actually left.

Why does a dog lick its goolies?? 

If its a bona fide shop project, you would think that the accountant would write it off as product advertising or some such accountancy/tax system rort and get the taxpayer to foot the bill??

Sorta like those V-twin (Non) Harley's, look like the real thing, but there aint a genyooine HD part in them. All manufactured by the aftermarket industry.

States it is a client's bike ... to be used on the street. So no, I don't think it is overkill at all

If the client is a business person?? The tax write off statement would still remain!

'cept for the fun time being had by the shop, that would be a hoot developing something like that!
