I wouldn't have abbreviated it. That deserves the full title. Not my type of thing, but looks good from that angle and loving the bronze coloured engine cases and I am a sucker for gold forks.

NBD sounds like an unpleasant medical condition that suffers seek advice from a Pharmacist about.

Always imagine these to be unpleasant without a screen, bit would ruin the amazing look.

An engine with wheels. I love my Ducati. They are special machines.

I had one for a little while and had a bit of an awkward relationship with it. I bought it in March 2021 as a somewhat extravagant birthday present but traded it in six months later. Don't get me wrong, it's a phenomenal machine; it looks amazing, the build quality is top-notch, the sound is ungodly, and it's easily one of the quickest things on the road. However, I think because it was so capable and so quick, it made me feel like the weak component in the setup. It was the harsh reality that I'm just not a good enough rider for it.

I do miss it, though. They're very special and you're going to have a lot of fun smile

Is there an aftermarket exhaust option?

To me it’s screaming (boom, boom) out for one (if there is).

A bit more foreground so it showed all of the rear tyre and a bit more driveway and that photo would be top notch to my eyes. I like the sky, the trees and the perspective angles. I may have been perving the rear wheel and single sided swing arm lastnight. I didn't have the best of days yesterday but a few looks at that bike and photo was a pleasant distraction lastnight.

I totally get that. I am under no illusion that the bike has capabilities way, way beyond my own. But it was the only bike I actually wanted to buy, nothing else pulled at the heart like this. And yes, I think it is very special indeed.;)

Beautiful cloud9

One of only 2 new bikes that could tempt me away from my current Tuono V4, and the other one is a Ducati also.

Funny that. The arrival of a 698 was why I went to the local showroom in the first place. The rest is history! Mono is bound to be fun too. Perhaps both is the answer.;)
