the 916 isnt bad....
Personally if I was having a Ducati though, I would prefer one of these 3 bikes (all 3 would be better
)
Mike Hailwood Replica
Ducati 350 Monza
Ducati Supermono
But the Firestorm and SP1/2 are still nice
:D

IgorVigor.
Sorry, but I don't really like the 900, but the Supermono is rather good.
Timbo.
What I did get was a couple of fellas at my local bike club meeting saying how they'd seen I had got rid of the 748 and assuumed I had traded it for the 'new' 916. I guess having changed the registration as well helps throw people off the scent!!!
Now, do I really need another bike? No, but an R1 appeals....................
PS Had two friends injured this w/e and it does make me think. One endoed his 6 week old Speed Triple R due to an absent minded pedestrian and the other tore his Triumph Daytona literally in half on the front of a Fiesta.
The first has two broken scaphoids but the second has a broken tibula and fibula (so now pinned), a broken shoulder, broken arm, smashed hand and a broken pelvis. Do a proper job eh? I wish 'em all the best.

Ooohhh...that sounds painful LSM
I think your bike looks top
Would have been funny to have it badged up as a 748 with the 916 lump in
The clutch basket looks cool

I love the sound of that rattlin' open clutch......................... but it's not everyones cup of tea. Only at standstill though. When moving it is all pure V twin noise!!! Mind you, it gets some looks from non-in-the-knowledge passers by!!!!!!!!!
