Quite, loved my 1198S
Sold my 1198S last year, still regret it, loved riding it

It's the $1000 question I guess Do I restore and then sell my 996 SPS or sell it as a restoration project. It's not a fire sale but I have too...
Can you post his email address on here? Or does it need to be pmd?
Done see many yellow Ducatis on the Moto GP grid, all sorts of colours ( not just red) but no yellow, is that because yellow are slower? Draggier...
Thought you were talking about the bin to start with...
