Nice collection Tony biggrin Once you’ve got a Desmo, hard not to part with it - they’re for life!

I’d also take a look at the later Ducati’s - have been out on the FE this morning and it’s a mental bike (even taking it easy as I’m running it in), the noise, the turn in, the quality of engineering - it’s got the lot biggrin

As for a job to pay for it all - I work in the Banking Industry.

Keeping all the bikes - they’re just all works of art in their own right and I’ve got plenty of stories and memories on them now that they’re part of my life - enjoy:

James,





James,
Lovely looking trio of Ducati’s you have there.
As for the latest dukes, I have had a heads up from my dealer that there is a Speciale version on its way with all the latest Moto gp tech on it and it’s running 230 bhp so have put a deposit down on one yesterday.
Looking at April 18 delivery, can’t wait !!

Well, apparently it’s a similar colour scheme to the final edition ( red white and green ) but different layout. It has circa 230 hp and gold magnesium wheels.
Full akrapovic exhaust system exiting under the belly pan.
Will be 1103 cc engine and only 1000-1500 will be built for customers worldwide.
The bike will be announced on the Ducati website “live streaming” on internet on the 5th Nov at 8pm uk time where all will be revealed.
That’s about as much as I know right now.

35k, and I got a bit of a discount due to having had a few new bikes off of them over the last couple of years...

I saw a Desmo in the flesh for the first time today, such a special machine!! Unfortunately it was having a bit of a bad day and Fagan from fast bikes had it in the back of his van.

He was out with Baron Von Grumble road testing the new 1299 FE biggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrin
