But on the street one does not lean so much or ride so aggressively (or shouldn't) so I guess it should work just fine. The street one already has an Aluminum airbox/steering head section. It has enough horsepower, that is for sure!

Love those desmodromic valves...

is this the death of the signature ducati trellis frame?

Just wipe down the chain with WD-40 and then apply lube.

It's a good thing you're a nurse, I think I just had a heart attack.......







The hardest part of playing chicken, is knowing when to flinch.

And Joe, goodness, if you have a heart attack with me just accepting, doesn't give me much confidence for the honeymoon night. So I guess I'll pass...
