Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Imagine, spending a bunch of money then just giving up motorcycles as they haven't really improved, in fact they are a bit shitter than you remember.
When for the same money you could have bought a clapped out CB500X or ER650, ridden around for thousands of kms and realised how fun bikes are nowadays, . . . then only to realise those were just the crappy starters.
Don't you look at my accountant.

Oh gawd the video was self righteous bullshit for the ten or fifteen seconds I could endure it. Yes you can wire up leds on a switch. No it is not some pioneer cutting edge technology from a bygone Era.![]()

Riddle me this: Why do these cost so much?

As far as I can tell it is the same air cooled 1000cc powertrain as used in other contemporary models, and it has model specific wheels and tank and maybe instruments.
I do not understand. Maybe if Paul Smart had signed it, or ridden it or something....
What don't I get, Ducati afficionados?

They came out at the same time as the Paul Smart if I recall. I seem to remember a road tester whinging about comfort. That's a lot of money to pay to make yourself miserable.
He starts it up and the noisiest thing is the clutch. Would anybody accept that crap from a Japanese manufacturer?

As regards the Paul Smart replicas, the unsigned ones are the rare ones. When Smart was last here in NZ, the model had been out for about 18 months.
Nearly every owner of one made the trek to Puke to get theirs signed.
Guy local to me went and told me how many were there. When I pointed out the scarcity value of an unsigned one he went away to think it through.
Haven't seen the bike since so don't know what conclusion he came to.
Ducati have mastered the marketing of "limited edition" "collectors model" motorcycles. Function is irrelevant.
I think that bike looks great and was contemplating one when they came out. Problem for me was no Ducati dealer within easy range of Dunedin for when it might need some attention. The last two new bikes I bought (KTM and Suzuki) both developed a sudden fault that made them unrideable and needing to be picked up by the dealer. Didn't fancy the risk with a Ducati but shit, ditch that exhaust and I cannot think of many better looking bikes than that, and thankfully not in red.
I'd be willing to go to something like $7.5 for that.
Timeless classic ducati.
Um? Or replica of a GT. That's like calling a Zephyr a Timeless classic.

Mark 3 Zephyr. They were everywhere. And then they were not.
Also: Mark 2 Zephyrs were the bogan car of choice when I was a teen. Now, not so much.
