the old bikes like this look less like a pleasurable ride and more like a rolling castration machine

But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

something about the Sei just looks very decadent.   [wine]
You're right and that's a great way to put it.

Is it just me or is the tail section a little too high in the air?

It's plenty high, but the SSS rearstand makes it even more pronounced.

I do love that S2R swingarm mated to the the SBK frame.

Hmm, a rad bike not in a 999 frame, that's new.  Looks like a 1098 with custom sub frame.

a SBK frame with a DS1000 engine?  seems like a waste.  it looks awesome tho.  rad = kewl.

I'm not sure why people create air cooled Ducati race bikes.  Is it because they fit into a certain race class. 

I like the SBK frame air cooled Ducati engine combination even better as a naked bike.

Guzzi Griso SE.  We don't get this version with the tubeless spoked wheels and black frame in the U.S.

I think maybe the masking tape disqualifies that as a true naked.. :D
