Only thing that bothers me is the undertail exhaust, looks like a cheap ricer tailpipe. But i'm sure they designed it that way for a good reason. Here's another pic:

The multiple exhuast points look odd, but the bike itself is the ****.

I think the 16.5" wheels make the tires seem larger than they are (although with its power, that rear tire probably is huge).

i'd like pedrobot more if he wasn't orlando bloom's minime w/ a fat bastard ego and if he didn't take out nicky last year. and if he wasn't hrc's fav son just bc rep$ol likes him. and if his manager wasn't such a *****.

but yes i'd rather see asimo win on a honda than watch stoner do it on a ducati...

I don't like that midget bastard either, but I couldn't of been happier to see him win in the last race...... man im tired of stoner already.

If pedrosa cracks a smile... I'll kill myself and donate my organs to charity.

I want that helmet in the first picture, I wish I could get it somewhere.

I've been half tempted to take a flat black helmet to a shop and have that paint scheme put on.

It looks out of proportion. It looks like they added some serious rake to it too. I hope that's not the final version of the bodywork.

Is that a twin-loop undertail muffler?

Yeah, he does have that distinctly european attitude to him, but I am so glad he ran with it at valencia... Iunno how much longer i can keep seeing Ducati/Stoner on the podium

This is what I was looking at, It looks a bit like a 1960's short swingarm long rake layout

I like Roger Hayden! Nicky is a lil bitch and pedrosa is a better rider than nicky for sure! Honda should be glad to have pedrosa cause nicky will never be a champion again.oh and BTW that's the ugliest bike i have ever seen.

I gotta ask - WHY do you say this? Nicky consistently turns the most laps in practice/testing and never says anything bad about his team or employer.

Seems like a pretty short-sighted viewpoint, lofting insults from your couch.
