Haha! Doesn’t everyone have $180k burning a whole in their/thems pocket? I mean I heard Biden was handing out money left and right to lazy unemployed people during Covid recovery. If those people can’t afford it, then no one can.

Fcuk! I missed that memo... you mean I could have stayed at home instead of working three jobs to fund my passion???
 
I know someone (they/thems) on here has the means 👀

Also- the same site has the Loris Baz RS from motoAmerica for sale, and yes I did us the favor and asked- $120k AND that includes a free spare motor

In the words of our President, "C'mon man!"

Real question though- is it that unrealistic to run a current V4RS like these for track days? With as few km as we'd be putting on them doing a track day every few months and a competent Duc dealer nearby- could it be done?
 
you secret wsbk stars need to write a letter to Gigi with your complaints or move to a better manufacturer for your "platform" so you can showcase your amazing skills having outridden this Ducati scene

If you have enough money to throw at it, sure. But, using a dealership mechanic for a V4RS is a big question mark.

There’s a Baz bike in the pits here at COTA right now… unfortunately, on the trailer.

No complaints from me. I think the only Ducati I might be able to outride is a Cucciolo, and maybe not even that. ;)

Riding a halo Ducati allows me to be a superhero for a day, even if that means only being faster than a speeding grandma on a walker and only being able to leap over a tall beer can in a single bound. ;)

Yep, there is a member here that has a MM sstk Kit that has been quite a project. The MM kit I got from BSD was plug an play and came with base map settings but you’re correct in that Wintax did run on an older windows platform. I like the aftermarket kits (MM,Motec) primary because of the complete segregated subsystems. I can use what I want and leave off what I don’t. In the case of my last build all I wanted was engine management. All the new Ducati electronic platforms are for sure awesome but way more than I want or need for what I’m doing and I can’t minimize it as it’s all integrated electronically and electrically. I’m currently using engine management, and QS function and running open loop (no O2) with pre defined maps. No rider aids. Super simple and very reliable.

Just turn the electronics off and you're good to go, pro tip though don't chop the throttle when sliding 🤣

Were you one of the guys that came over and asked about the Tundra in front of your garage? A few of us were sitting in 9 shooting the .... and drinking.

It is you guys in 7, ASO in 8, Ruston in 9(where we were all gathered last evening and us in 10(Ducati Austin garage)
I'm not out there today, kinda glad as I saw some insta reels of rain at the track.

Wasn’t me. Didn’t hear anything about a tundra, but yeah we were in 7 with the tan taco.

Sorry I missed you Saturday. You going to RR fest?
 
Have you ever had a moment when you get it all wrong, but the bike makes everything right regardless?

I am very inseam challenged, lol.

To be fair, Karel Abraham told me that the grip from MotoGP tires is on an entirely different level than I'm used to. Quite the understatement. On another bike/tires, I'd likely have been on my ear.
