Agreed, I mean come on man. The billet masters are 600 retail. Ducati could get them for half that. The billet rear caliper, 400 bucks. A decent triple, 800 bucks. Put the damn T drives on there, a decent QS, MS calipers and a damn carbon tank. It’s 3k from CDT. Your charging 100k+. Quit giving me components that are on your entry level bike.

Yes but for many buyers of the SL it is their entry level bike to Ducati, these owners get pissed on and believe its raining. Its all about what the marketing dept dictates and how susceptible you are to their seductive ways.

Ducati testing new wings for new SL

Roger Freeth's bike, built by Ken Mackintosh- legendary thanks for a memories he was a great racer and real thinker.

They tried it, but it didnt work.

In 1956 they were into dustbin fairings, the aero was actually pretty advanced for the day and if you look at MotoGP they are doing their best to replicate that smooth airflow

What appeals about these bikes although not street machines is their honestly in seeking performance- no marketing ........ added.

Personally if I could justify the disposible for a toy like an SL, I'd go for this with the power pack upgrade;

Honda built a quality bike that you cant replicate using their street 1000rr as a base

Its 80% the real McCoy MotoGP bike, 180k in 2016 and absolutely exquisite in every detail

Bringing this back up to correct my previous statements.

The blue SL V4J was in fact an official Ducati one off by Ducati Unica, Ducati's customisation arm.

Seems strange that they announce this several weeks after production but i digress nonetheless.

It looks good, but every time I see it I expect to see Fabio Quartararo or Frankie Morbidelli standing next to it.
