What ???? Did someone leave the bike unattended while buying gas or what???

It was most likely a squad of Ninjas stealing it for one of the large JapanLand manufacturers. They want to steal those great Italian ideas from BIMOTA....

Damn them Ninjas.......

The motorcycles was at the home of the tester, closed in box!

I think was a "normal" thief and he think was a DB7

Compared to DB7:

Different rotors front and rear.

Looks like the lower spec Brembo calipers on the front.

Nice looking OZ wheels.

Really like the black cases on the later Duc motors.


Of course, a lot different in and under the skin.....

Nope. Just a Duc Hyper. We should definitely get a European bike night going around here, on a regular weekly basis. Maybe Winter Park area? I live in Lake Mary, but work downtown. Sorry to tread-jack.
