Missing a rock guard belly pan, which would be easy to make with that frame. Other than that, that thing is sweet!  [thumbsup]

Alright.

I'll be the party pooper.  I hate the frame.

My DR650 said it thinks the frame looks OK though.

+1.  Although "hate" is strong.  Just not a great looking frame and the white only makes it stand out more.

I also agree with Mad Duck re thigh burn.

Still, if this were the scrambler, I'd buy it.  Looks fun!

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

Pardon the phone snap. From Bonhams at Pebble Beach today. Can't seem to find the bike details online. Guess I'm dull.  :-[

I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, please. It looks like the air intake for the horizontal cylinder carb is facing forward right behind the front fender. Somehow I think that is just plain wrong.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Pretty much every ducati before about 85 had the carb there.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Now that I keep looking the air intake can't be for the horizontal cylinder; can it? It could be for the vertical cyl but it would still be a bad idea for placement even if they did produce them like that.

I think they have individual velocity stacks on each carb. You can see the one for the vertical cylinder behind the one for the horizontal in that picture.
