The tank looks expanded, so that makes sense.

They need to do a replica road bike that would sell out.

Love the yellow speed block colour scheme, that for me echoes right back to when I started biking and brings back memories of King Kenny on a fire breathing OW31 and the smell of Castrol R, new mown grass (racetrack grass) and Brut aftershave, the smell of my teen years iirc.
I think I'm getting a bit moist here....

Most of the Ducati showroom :)

The Yamaha dealer is now pissing me about and offering 1500 euros less for the RC8 than when he looked at it and talked about price face to face.

Shame as they would have probably had a sale. I want to see what the Ducati folks will offer me and then see. As long as I get a new bike for next season I'm not too worried.
