It doesn't work to just take UK bike prices and convert them directly to USD, bikes in genereal are more expensive over there plus the list prices include value added tax and general sales tax

for example UK price for an R1 is £13,899 or $22,230

From a marketing perspective, in the US Ducati will want to keep the entry level 1199 a few hundred dollars under the $15K psychological threshold

Motorcycle-USA said its 18K, 24K (s), and 28K (Tricolor)... now which one of my kids to sell... hmmmm.
 
I am confused. :laughing

For MotoGP, Duc has just admitted that it has completely abandoned its ill handling carbon fiber frame technology and has adopted an almost conventional Al spar arrangement for MotoGP in 2012.

This just in time for the grand launch of its carbon fiber framed street bike. :wow

"it’s safe to say the front end problems affecting the GP bike will not carry over to the 1199 just because they both utilize monocoque chassis design..."

Is this in fact a monocoque chassis? If so, what is it made of?

aluminum... or, for the Brits "al you min eee um"

Honda doesn't use a v4 in it's cbr, does that means it's abandoned to i4 engine?
 
Yep. That blonde is gorgeous..! :drool
 
That brushed tank looks stupid and unfinished. They could have at least painted it red and have clearcoated sections that allows the brushed alum to reveal.
