One latte short

[sydmonster]

but its not a monoposto!...  as if you'd have ever considered buying one.


NIce one guys! 999's are unique in the model line up.

Ahh unique! That makes me feel better

Unlike those bloody 848's ... Ducati's most popular middleweight ever ... which happens to have just as much power and about 30kg less weight - but they aren't as 'unique' right?

Betty it seems to me you are presenting yourself as a bit of conundrum now - anarchist/non conformist, and yet you have displayed a deep seeded desire to confirm, and yet have a 'unique' bike!

Now in regards to the 848 may I make a suggestion:  From the photo displayed it seems Jukie is of a smallish frame and may not have the physique to truly manhandle a 'unique' bike like that. Also there is the safety aspect in the unfortunate event that the bike is laid down whilst riding she may not be able to pick it up. SO, an 848evo is lighter and slightly smaller in stature than the 999, and may be the perfect addition to your newly acquired superbike family.  Then she too could join you on latte rides as this bike would also have a lot of ticks in boxes (except dry clutch and high maintenance) for the conforming crowd.

Just trying to help.....

I am always in conflict, just ask anyone of me.

Seat height is the big issue with the 848 ... actually much higher than the 999 despite the weight saving.

Besides she doesn't need any more power ... on her day she has been known to menace more than the odd Superbike with the 620.

I am also tempted to bring up financial constraints but on this board that is effectively soliciting advice on some retarded form of cost/benefit analysis ... so I won't

Jukie? Manhandle?? ..............................................Ok, I'll leave now! 


BTW. Luverly piece of kit that Betty, would love to squeeze summint like that between my two Monsters, be a nice threesome!  [moto]

[Jukie]

Me man handling hmmm sounds like fun and did I hear you say threesome 

[mostro900]

Nice bike!
Now Jukie, I think it might be time to replace all those smilies in your signature...or is it Betty's signature...

I think it is best that she leaves things as they are ... for now.

[Jukie]

yes i think they might need to stay there too

[Spider]

we'll need a ride report from both of you (and a latte report too if you wish)

nice
