Black or gold wheels?
If i were to find some nice 5 spoke Marchesinis for the 748, which colour would you choose?
race bikes of the era were known to have both colours at various stages. I change my mind on this frequently.

Re: Black or gold wheels?
My personal opinion. The black looks a bit more classy against the red, the gold looks a little too blingy.

Re: Black or gold wheels?
I like both but gold has a slight advantage over black as gold isn't around as much on bikes :-)

I had it in my head to say black, but then the second picture loaded and I changed my mind. Gold looks pretty sweet on that bike

Total no brainer GOLD. Choice of one imo. Classic Ducati look and timeless classic.

Re: Black or gold wheels?
My body parts are starting to get old.
I doubt i would get a carbon tank pad for my saleable bits.

Re: Black or gold wheels?
Depends what you want, the gold will stand out more. Cant go wrong with either (thats code for I cant make my mind up either)
My brother always tells me if you cant make your mind up just get one coz you will be happy with either.
