Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

If i were to find some nice 5 spoke Marchesinis for the 748, which colour would you choose?

race bikes of the era were known to have both colours at various stages. I change my mind on this frequently.

For your bike I think it has to be gold.

They both look great TBH, but i prefer the black

My personal opinion. The black looks a bit more classy against the red, the gold looks a little too blingy.

I like both but gold has a slight advantage over black as gold isn't around as much on bikes :-)

I had it in my head to say black, but then the second picture loaded and I changed my mind. Gold looks pretty sweet on that bike

Gold I reckon, more in keeping with the vintage of the bike, both look good though

Gold. Most bikes have black wheels. The 748 isn't most bikes..

On your Duke Duke I'd go with the gold.

Total no brainer GOLD. Choice of one imo. Classic Ducati look and timeless classic.

I have gone with Gold

I voted black. Gold looks tacky to me.

can I throw a spanner in the works and say get some Carbon Fibre ones. they are sorta black

Ooohhhh, yes. Can I change my vote?

I think Duke was hoping to keep his kidneys instead of part ex against carbon wheels

My body parts are starting to get old.

I doubt i would get a carbon tank pad for my saleable bits.

Fogarty's bikes had both are various stages.

Depends what you want, the gold will stand out more. Cant go wrong with either (thats code for I cant make my mind up either)

My brother always tells me if you cant make your mind up just get one coz you will be happy with either.
