Re: Want!
That one is a Superleggera and is only 166kg wet. The frame is magnesium.StMarks wrote:Blade wrote:

Re: Want!
Magnesium is commonly used on high end bikes.
The engine cases and rocker covers are all magnesium on the SP2.
Duke when they claim 166kg wet are they including fuel ? So a true kerb / ready to ride weight ?
I have a feeling they are claiming wet as it has coolant and oil in it when other manufacturers quote wet as including fuel which is a good 12 to 14 kg more.
Looks impressive but a little miss leading if my suspicions are correct. Still impressive though as a raid bikr with lights that weighs the same as wsbk factory racer.

Although, from my memories of science lessons Magnesium burns with a very bright flame.???

Re: Want!
If 213 bhp is genuine that is a mind blowing amount of power.
That could be on a bsb grid and run at the front if it were allowed.

Re: Want!
From memory, I think the power modes are wet, sport and race.
Wet is 120bhp and very soft throttle response. Sport is full bhp but still a softish response and race is full on everything.
This is the link on the Ducati website.
