I think i prefer the Honda! That Ducati is nice to look at but you need to be 6' plus to not look daft sat on it

Sorry to hear about this, that's a pretty brutal experience for anyone.
Love the Ducati Diavel, trying to stay away from Ducati Dealerships for now! I have a 2010 KTM SMT 990, Akra's, k&n and a remap. It puts a smile on my face!

I had this thing for 3 years and didnt realise how much I disliked it
I decided to sell because I wanted a Mugen hardtop and a pre 07 hayabusa.Anyway this guy called me and asked if I was interested in a 2011 Busa plus cash for my Beemer.
Cut a long story short I did the deal,I now have Genuine Cf Mugen hardtop and this.....
Check out the handlebar conversion, it suits me down to the ground.I needed to get rid of the gaudy red graphics which I have done and replaced the with carbon look, from a distance it looks all black now which is good.I forgot how much I luv Busa's.I was prepared to sell the Beemer and quit bikes altogether,I'm glad I didn't.This thing has 2300 miles on it when the deal was done so its like new,Ive since removed the gay red graphics,put a Hid headlight on it,heated grips and all is good.
I think this is probably worth about the same as the Beemer plus its got a few mods which I would probably have done myself anyway and I've basically got this for free.....
The roof not the car,

Glen .... is that photoshopped??? It's out on the public road and stuff!!
You can all have a good chuckle at what it's like to be stuck on a 125 80 mile round trip to work and back - fun for the most part. Hopefully getting around to DAS at the back end of this year, with a number of other things going on there's just not been the time to get enough practice in.
