  1. Now that would be interesting to trash around Silverstone.

    One thing I don’t get about these bikes is the claimed weight, how can a 1098R version be so much heavier than a 999R version when the former’s engine is that much lighter?

    Still, would be very interesting to see just what all this ‘technological thinking’ actually does on track compared to the ‘real thing’. Either way that version you posted will be a bloody animal! Excellent!
     
  2. Didn't realise they did the Tesi for Bimota too... maybe the supercharger and gubbins were heavy - look at the Kawasaki H2!
     
  3. Yeah me neeva but it kinda figures I guess.

    Sod that H2/R friggin joke of a powerful bus thing, around 250Kg? Ok for drag strips and Autobahns but not much else, despite what the promos would have you believe, or the road testers protecting their careers... w*nkers
     
  4. Yeh, testers :sob:
     
  5. I find the Vyrus' looks, ummm, challenging. I'm guessing they were inspired by the US DOD stealth programme but they ended up with something that looks like illegitimate offspring of Darth Vader and Megatron.
     
  6. Right.....just tidying up. I'm assuming this bike has long gone.

    Thread closed
     
  7. Thread re-opened as apparently it's back up for sale.

  8. I believe the one for sale at the moment is a different one. Colours are different aren't they?
     
  9. Possibly but I thought it had been re painted (the story read the same about being the promo bike) and it came on Ebay when this thread re emerged too. Could be coincidence and artistic licence in the wording :thinkingface:

    @Hotblack Desiato can you confirm? :)
     
  10. The one on this thread bid up to £17,100 on Ebay then re listed and was removed so perhaps had an offer somewhere slightly higher :thinkingface:
     
  11. I Remember thees bikes, when they first came out there was one in club racing, which the commentator used to mention this is here for racing/testing, i used to see it at Brands a lot, Just looked at the one on eBay now and its just up the road from me, interesting design.
     
  12. Are you in Northampton where the bike is or Canvey Island?
     
  13. Not far from Canvey, two locations which are not even close to each other :confused:
     
  14. The bike is in Northampton at a Ducati specialists evidently - not sure where - anyone know?
    Keep thinking of putting a cheeky offer in but would have to sell a few bike next year if I did :)
     
  15. Says the listing has been ended by the seller, sold?
    I would like to test ride one for a few hours.
     
  16. Could be! The last one I could find evidence of sold for £20,000 and the thread starter bided up to just over £17K last year unsold then was de listed a few days after relisting, so £35K was a bit rich for me. Would have loved it though :)
     
  17. i love it .....wish i had 20k ..lol ;)
