Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

I was sitting at work this morning and heard the familiar rumble of a Ducati coming down the road, so had a quick look out the window to see one of these.

Still the most desirable machine on the planet for me.

Gorgeous bike both looking and sounding.
I would love one bit they are like hens teeth as o be been looking.

John Hackett at Ducati Coventry reckons they are the most sought after of Ducatis and he wishes he still had one.

Very very nice.

one of the only bikes I would sell my SP2 for....

You seen any for sale recently Duke ?

About a year ago was the last time i saw one for sale.

You are better off keeping your eye on Ducati Sporting Club and ducatiforum.co.uk for sales or even asking about the specialist Ducati dealers.

The other one that is worth keeping an eye out for is a 916SPS which i am told is the most race-like of all the engines of that era. One sold for £16K last week though it did have a £10k engine blueprint about 8 years ago.

This may help some understand the list of lovelies...

What a bike. I'm sure there was a 998R on autotrader for c.£19k recently.

I used to pal around with some one that had one .... What was worse he could ride he had just finished competing in the hornet cup. He would come out of corners wheelie past me then disaper round the next corner.

Nice....

While on the conversation of ducati sound, I wish I had managed to get a vid clip of the desmo that was at donnington.. Fook me thats a nice sound
