Had a friend's digicam so I took a few. They still suck, but not as much as the camera-phone stuff I usually post.

Extremely.

I like how it's a banana seat that actually looks good. On most bikes it spoils the lines, but I guess Ducati puts enough effort into designing each piece so that they don't look ugly.

Another example is the contraption that the footpegs attach to. They've designed it to flow with the lines of the frame, and it has both driver and passenger pegs. So no need for a separate mounting point for the passenger, as on sportbikes.

You know, I really can't figure out which one he meant. This is the MC forum, but...

The Monster will probably out-accelerate the R in the 1/4 mile, but the ITR will do around 150.

That's where I'd like to be eventually.

Some Akra CF hi-mounts and a few CF doodads. Maybe an open airbox and a re-program of the ECM.

The thing I love about it is that somehow it stays clean. I've never even touched it with water, and yet it still looks clean? A bike after my own heart.

Just to clear it up, my bike (03 620D) has a wet clutch.

The pipes are a little rashed, and the tank has a dent where the bars dinged it. The tank also has a little spot where the paint isn't great.
