Bugga...Mrs Tush67 said if it wasn't for the extra £300 I could have it.

And then I woke up!!!

I saw this the other day and im going to say something utterly outrageous...I think the demosedici is PIG UGLY.

Yep, ive tried and tried....but i think that the front end looks like a guppy and the totally enclosed fairing reminds me of that old horrible CBR1000 from the late 80's. Yeah i know its rare and exotic and all that crap but im not getting suckered into the label man..If i see one in the flesh it may well be a totally different story (the 999 never photographs particularly well)...anyway, thats my 2 penneth.

**Tush67** · 30 Jun 08, 09:24 PM

I've tried denial Funky. It only lasted for a while

**stevel** · 30 Jun 08, 09:29 PM

Whoa....controversy alert! The looks are a personal thing, all different.....but the performance, pedigree and kudos are undeniable?

**998gsb** · 30 Jun 08, 09:59 PM

Wonder why he/she is selling it....

54 miles - that means he/she has only ridden it 50 miles....more to the point are they a forum member on here - or anyone know who's it is ?

Rathar have a 1098R...Given the choice...Not that thats going to happen, so its all irrelevant!

"With a power output of 200 HP* at 13,800 rpm.."

A couple of guys on the RC30 message board have had their Desmosedicis on the dyno, and they are each putting out 170+hp. Moreover, having had them on the scales too, they've found that they weigh a hell of a lot more than Ducati are claiming.

Personally, I think this is the nicest Ducati since the 888, but it's too much hype!!

**harriebird** · 01 Jul 08, 07:52 AM

it is lovely in the flesh, no mistake. there were a couple at the DD round at Assen i think, including one parked in the rain! shock horror! and it didnt seem to be dissolving!

**Rob998** · 01 Jul 08, 07:54 AM

True, I've seen 2 up close, and there is plenty to drool over!

**Vegas** · 01 Jul 08, 11:05 AM

They're lovely in the light of day I agree. This one went for £40,600. Still, if I could, I would.

**davyevo** · 01 Jul 08, 12:45 PM

I agreed with Funky on the Guppy front and CBR jellymould looks....until i saw one at Ducati Manchester.
they look 100 times better in the metal, you just GOT TO try and get to see one/sit on one.

**funkyrimpler** · 01 Jul 08, 05:44 PM

yep..but just coz its rare dont mean its pretty..case in point..NR750

or hunt this thing down and kill it please

for starters..yeah yeah, i know its the nuts im not denying it, but prefer the looks of the tricoloure etc..
