Very. Nice mister.
Does the clutch make a noise like a Salvation Army Captin banging a tambourine?
848 has a wet clutch so no rattle unfortunately Does the clutch make a noise like a Salvation Army Captin banging a tambourine?
Will make a change from the 748 where everyone had to point out 'your bike sounds broken' when stopping for petrol
Another little update though, I cracked on with the polish last night, got the new exhaust guard on and have just ordered a rear seat cowl and clear double bubble screen.
Also booked in on 5th April at FTR suspension for a full check / setup and weight matched rear spring if required.

OP - bike is looking great. Worth £4K as an armament.

Nice, I'm considering getting a Ducati. There seems to be wallet creep though...£5k for a 749, £6k for an 848, £7k for an Evo, £8k for a Corse and then £9k for an 899....not sure where the sweet spot is.
I keep toying with a Ducati superbike, having had a few Monsters, but as I use the Duc for the commute each day, I just don't think I could do it to a superbike. I would be too worried about it getting dirty. For some reason I don't mind the Monster 821 being covered in ACF50. Although I did have to clean the wheels down this morning before I left for work!rapide said:

I felt bad for putting non-sporty PR4s on my R1. This pic makes me feel much better.
Ha, I felt the same. They're bloody ugly compared to the Supercorsas I had on before. Amazing tyres though, and realistically all you need if people were honest with themselves Gunk said:
I like the grips (these are ProGrip 717, if I am not mistaken? I have these, they are very grabby, good for mid-sommer hot traffic).I'd put see-through stompgrip on the tank.
I liked the red stripes on the wheels, they made the wheels and the bodywork stand out. Black alloys and tires look vanilla imho.
