I just got a Ducati 748s!
I am so fired up, I want to tell anyone who'll listen that I just got a yellow Ducati 748s. Termignoni carbon exhaust, bunch of carbon bits and pieces, magnesium wheels, etc. When I test rode the bike and got a chance to open up the throttle, the bike asked me "How do you like me now?" I patted her on the tank and said, "You had me at 'Hello'."

I hate you.
Not really. Post some pics!!! Preferably at 1024x768 or higher resolution. Maybe 1280x1024?

Excellent choice! I knew you couldn't resist! Once you go "quack", you never go back! Just try to keep the shiny side up on this one.

That's a nice Monster you got there, mister. If I had more sense, I would have looked at those instead, as this 748 is pretty uncomfortable when tooling around town. But when I "assume the position" and get tucked in, with that mellodious cacauphony of whirlybits churning between my legs, I'm in Nirvana. I love the v-twin roar, the rattling dry clutch plates, the Hand of God Brembos, the green tach, how my chest rests against the tank, etc. I hopped on my BMW to ride home from the dealer, and while it's a cool and funky bike, I felt like an old man on a Gold Wing. Only problem with the Duc is that I have to find a place to mount the biggest stick I've ever had to carry, to fight off the hoardes of admiring women.
Viva Ducati, Viva Ducati, Gooooooooaaaaaaaallllll!!!!! P.S. Eric, I only dropped the BMW twice. Those cylinder heads work as auxiliary side stands  .P.P.S. I just realized I now have a vehicle from each of the last 5 decades. Daaaamn.

Nader,
I've got a 97 748 with the old style graphics... There is no other bike like it... Think on it, a V-Twin that rev's to 11,000 RPM! Sweeet sounds of Desmo!

If this pic shows up properly, you'll see my new baby parked next to the intrepid Airhead. The best pic I could snap in a hurry, so that I'd have an updated screensaver. My yellow fleet.
The Duc is the kind of bike with which I can sit in the garage with a glass of wine and a cigarette, and just stare at her. It's all I can do in this $hitty weather, this godforsaken northwestern rainforest. Anyone who actually likes this rain is either: kidding themselves; a fatass shut-in; or just retarded. I'd leave if I could, but I digress. Daamn, this bike is beautiful. It's the moto incarnation of my trophy girlfriend. It's a tasty McGriddle in the mornin'. It's my cigarette after sex. It's the swift, terrible sword that cuts through the crap of my day.
