While the article itself mostly talks about how little info Ducati has released about the GP13 (no surprise, really), these are the first detailed pix I've seen of it:

Since none of the manufacturers are going to give accurate numbers on such things, I think at least one of them should take a page from the old Rolls Royce marketing materials and list horsepower as "Adequate."

HP better be just more than "adequate"! [laugh]

Still wondering why they have the screens on their GP bike's exhaust?? To keep out squirrels and nest building wasps? ;D
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

No shit.

If they collect more than 2 podiums in '13, I'll probably wet my pants.
