That's just a great advert....shows next to nothing, tells you exactly nothing...yet makes you want to know more.


Bike looks like a sinister alien.

Some more photos.

It's always a joy to see the welding porn Ducati put on their bikes.

Not as pretty as the first Superleggera but there is some amazing bling on the bike.

Urrghhhh - look at those cans - utter porn!

It's the cans I don't like

I do - balances the back of the bike. I suppose they are necessary these days with all the euro regs..

Each to their own of course

Generally I like twin cans as they do give a sense of balance, however I really don't like them.

The cans themselves I quite like, the positioning however it just wrong. They just look like they've ended up there rather than been part of an overall design.

They are made for power and torque rather than looks, i believe. The bike also comes with the standard exhausts as well.

JHP were telling me yesterday they have sold 4 already and likely an additional 2 more.

That bike looks frickin' bad-ass.

WSBK Ducatis have these pipes (position, obviously the actual system is different)

I really like it to be honest but I'm never going to ride one so meh! For that reason alone my ZX6R is the best bike in the world !! haha

£72,000 each
500 made
All sold.

Going on that clip you'll need a couple of sets of tyres for each track day.

Feck me that guy can ride....

He's Alessandro Valia, Ducati test rider.

Antithesis of what you expect a test rider to be.
