You probably don't realize that you coulda bought a brand new Harley with that money, but I hear Ducati makes an OK bike, too.   8)
 
 I'm happy for ya, Ray! That's one really sweet bike. I can't wait to see it in person.

That's a nice kickstand.  A few more miles put on her and you'll get to see the rest of the tachometer too I believe.

I agree, even the kickstand is a piece of art.  Ray, did you get a ground level room at Twistar so you can roll it into your room or just going to put it in the lobby for the hotel staff to guard?

Looks like it.  This bike is based on the MotoGP bike, which has no frame.



Article Summary "Ducati has released a series of photos of its revolutionary Panigale 1199 superbike without its clothes on, showing exactly how the bike is held together in the absence of a traditional frame. But while the monocoque chassis is pretty fascinating to look at in the flesh, what strikes us most is just how incredibly compact the bike is - every component has been squeezed into the tiniest possible space. In fact, you can't even see clean through the bike at any point until you reach the rear hugger. This is mass centralisation and weight shaving taken to a whole new level… Good luck trying to service the thing yourself!"

Nice find.  I talked to a guy that bought the 1199 when I was getting my Duc and he was supper excited about how well it just rolls through the turns.  It sounds great too.
