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.

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.

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.

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

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

He's Alessandro Valia, Ducati test rider.

Antithesis of what you expect a test rider to be.
