Orange County Choppers has a Streetfighter!

[flynbulldog]

Yep, you read that correctly sirs, OCC- ass clowns of the universe
Have become a Ducati dealership that will be opening it's doors Today (thursday).

They have on hand the first Streetfighter S in the United States,
Hows that for DNA treating the established dealerships with loyalty???

Here's a pic of the warehouse, the SF is the third bike from the left:


Oh yeah thats a Bayliss "R" in there too. Cant wait to see that lowered and stretched with a 320 - Saweet!

Firstly, I am sure that will piss a lot of good dealers off, but more to the point; What is DNA thinking??? these guys and their customers are not Ducatis' target market! Anything for the pursuit of the dollar.....thats what makes this country great
For a laugh, try to visualize one of their more generously proportioned customers crushing the suspension when they take one for a test ride

[freezerburn]

I have to say that this really pisses me off. I'm glad it is not a black S or I would be really super pissed. Does DNA really think it needs that kind of exposure from that three ring circus side show?

This is one of the reasons I renegotiated on my Streetfigher. Ducati, who do make a great bike don't get me wrong, does things like this. They think that they are above all of this. Guys like you and me are impatiently waiting for our bikes, turn on the boob tube and watch little Paulie wreck the shit out of things like possibly one of these bikes. These people are pure white trash who never had a penny and became rich overnight. Every show demonstrates the gross misuse of money. For Ducati to even consider having them represent them is beyond me. So yes, If I where a dealer I would be PISSED. Just my 2 cents.

You never know. It could be a good thing... As long as they dont start making them into those stupid stretched busa/zx-14 things all chromed out with 300rear tyres...

I dont think I would be terribly upset as a dealer. Consumers, expecially ducati enthusiasts or fans, are not stupid. They can see a dealer for what they are and in the long term, are not going to purchase a bike, or even have one serviced for that matter, from a dealer whom is a) not trustworthy and b) unproffessional.... I think the people who ultimately will buy from them are the current custom occ enthusiasts whom, once get a ducati, will be probably be smart enough to take it somewhere else to get serviced

Isn't that where they raced the go-karts around the basement? What's that blur in the back ground there? Oh it's gonna be ugly.

My guess is it's the displya bike that's been making the rounds.

I'm amazed tho, they're the last place I would've thought would be a duc dealer. BUT I'm sure the fact that they have a weekly NOT reality show, the exposure is good tho, I think they're kind of embarassing and some of the theme bikes are pretty hideous.

Looks like the bastardization has started with a "tricked out" (read meat axed) treatment of a Monster;
