    Are those the brake lights that come with the full exhaust or is it an aftermarket kit?

    Bike Looks great. I am sure is sounds even better!

    The Moto GP exhaust kit is quite a lot more than just the titanium exhaust. You get a new and beautifully painted carbon fibre tail panel and lower fairing, new tail lights, new c/f number plate mount and a new engine ECU plus various heat insulation materials and all the mounting brackets and hardware.

    The sound is absolutely incredible, now it sounds like the real deal.

    It's costing around $10K installed, correct? 1-2 HP gain?

    $15k Australian installed, we get raped on taxes here.
    They dyno at circa 180 Rear wheel horsepower. There are a
    number of threads on the exhaust on the ducatispot website, under the Desmosedici forum.

    I had a replica of the "monkeybike". I'm not kidding: Harley guys gave me thumbs up and so did young guys on R bikes. It was so fun to drive around in. The chicks loved it hehe...
    Miss it and will get another one when I have time to use it, hopefully this time I will modify it with 125cc engine and other upgrades. So much fun for less than a grand is hard to come by.

    Really? I thought it was pretty slick. Way cool to use as a work commuter. :)

    The 83 Suzuki Katana was the only bike to take my breath away.
    Everything else has been an evolution.

    It's weird, but it has something about it that makes it "neat". Looks very uncomfortable though, but aren't most bikes.

    Replica of the original 900 superlite from 92'-93'. My superlite is in yellow as a US model.

    "Replica"... more like "Ultimate", it's the culmination of incremental advancement of the 2V carburetor air cooled super sport. Last of the breed!
