the 03 looks pretty slick, but I also prefer the silver engine and swingarm. Plus the 99-02 have both headlights on, while the 03 has one side on for low and one side on for high. It makes it look like one of your lights is burned out. Symmetry is always more attractive. |
No bike, but I do play with this:
http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/p/...struction6.JPG Honda CBR600-F4, RWD, 380lbs dry, custom intake/exhaust & EFI, MoTec engine management. Frame, suspension & brakes all custom. For its SCCA class it must have a 20mm flow restrictor in front of the throttle, which limits the output to about 68hp and 42ft-lbs (peak). Very wide & flat torque curve, on purpose, because it is meant to autocross. Few courses require more than one or two shifts per lap. The thrust curve would make your eyes pop. Not the most spectacular numbers power-wise, but it is overall 10lbs lighter than the bike it came from. 0-70mph (yes, 70mph, not 60) in 3.28sec, 60-0 in ~85 feet, recorded 1.4Gs on skidpad. It's a wild ride. |

and not that "little" 748 The new 999 is BUTT-ugly if you ask me, but the engine is pretty cool. Ducati have one of the best sounds - I like the old ss900 sound the best. It would be perfect If they didnt have that "dry clutch" noice . sounds like the engine is falling apart when the bike isent moving |
bump :)

Ducati !DROOL!

Ducatis / Aprilias are like 5 times more expensive than the Yamahas
why?! |

You'll also notice that the packaging of a Ducati's guts is much more compact.. one of the reasons they can carve up the track as they do. |
