Beautiful bike! Looks like it’s going to cost big though.

What happened to plain old “rider control”
I must be getting old……….
WANT IT!!!
If anyone is familiar what goes into high-end carbon fiber manufacturing, will understand why this thing costs 80K USD to own one. I bet it’s a SOB to make and assemble.
Brian D – You’re not the only one! I think the same thing when i read about all the electronic controls on every new bike these days.
If they had this thing when I was young,I would hurt even more than I do now.
Its superb
For the same money you can buy a Porsche – but so can everybody else…
A lucky few are going to have their licenses suspended in style. How I wish I could afford it.
That is a great looking bike!
Like Sigfreed said. I’m pretty sure I was BORN too old for that bike
Gorgeous achievement. “Rider control” went out the door years ago when HP/Weight ratios went well out of the range nearly any owners could control with their own senses. Crashed bikes are not good advertising
i am listening and hearing all you V-Twin Seniors and i have just become one recently, also. This Bike is a piece of Art that is designed by Computers. I believe that there is more hand Building in this Bike, also. i think that the BMW 1000 RR for $25,000 will keep up with this Bike and I know that it is 4 Cylinders. My point is that all the Men before me can still full fill their Bucket list.
That’s a nice looking bike.
Too bad it will spend most of its life on a mechanics bench like all Ducatis other creations.
Make a good museum piece though.
Most powerful production motorcycle has every electronic sensor possible to reduce performance to snails pace.

Germans BMW r100 or the Japs R1
