As above,

Was in Rye on Sunday, stopped off for a cuppa whilst out on the bike with some friends.

Just walking along when I heard this almighty racket coming from the bike park. The whole street looked up and a Desmo rolled out of park and waited to get let out... What a noise! Just so multilayered and raw... awesome.

He pulled out,and away past me and gave it a few revs as he did so... honestly, I nearly did a sex wee in my leathers!

Bloody lovely, and unexpected!

I'd love to see one on the road. I've seen one at the bike show but you don't get to hear it or anything then. Nice to see one being used rather than sat in a museum or something.

Seen 2 examples now on the roads. One in the centre of Amsterdam being used as a cafe racer, and one near Assen. The noise is just fantastic. smile

Capirossi's old 990 was at Goodwood FoS sounding awesome.
