The S4 that never should have been

[Bullfrog]

i'm so glad that owning a Ducati in my city is unique enough that i don't have to resort to that  [moto]

...a quip that's so overused these days that it's lost all impact and effectiveness.

and this post is necessary why?

I still think it's funny! Quip on! Oh, I just threw up a little also!

Wow, i never expected that anyone would try to outdo Britten for "ugliest bike ever made by a man in his back yard".

Dude you need some serious lasik. The Britten V1000 is one of the most gorgeous motorcycles ever built by man.

Well, admittedly I think the engineer in me is what appreciates that bike the most, but seriously you forgot to take your crazy pills today right?

I actually read your title as "The S4 never should have been." i.e. ALL S4s are ugly

Quite a few people agreed with that sentiment in 2001. As for me, love my S4  As for THAT S4 - Jesus wept. Some great work, great skills... not loving the finished bike though.

[TCK!]

Looks pretty cool.

Why do people have to do this to ducati`s

Tough crowd. That front end must have taken a ton of engineering to put together (assuming it works). Yes, the body work looks like a futuristic kitchen appliance from the '80s but a little tweaking and it could look awesome.

having lived in NZ, and been co-owner of two motorcycle shops, i've had my share of seeing nd riding the Britten bike... it's different but not phenomenal and certainly ugly as hell. being different just for the sake of it is so passé. it's been BMW's job for eons, let's leave it them.

i prefer the lines of a 1098 or MV F4 any day. leave my emotional Italian design alone.

I apologize for my previous reaction,Different strokes for different folks.

You've actually ridden the V1000?

No need to apologize, i took it in good humour.

Yeah i rode the V1000, it shares that weird soaring feeling of a BMW.
