I just read it on http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=24946 Wow, Ducati might be showing signs of life. One disappointment I see is the use of stock bodywork with all the holes...come on put some race bodywork on it.
Need to start checking the CMRA rule might be time to flip back to Ducati

....then talk to BCM about a titanium frame somone told you about for this model.
I've seen and touched it :crazy:

"These motorcycles are almost identical to Model Year 2005 SS1000F. In order to be brought into the United States for “Racing Purposes Only” the following components have been removed: Front Headlamp, Rear Tail Light, Mirror, Turn Signals."
"Pricing:
MSRP: $7,999"
wow so what this means is the lights and mirrors on my bike are worth 3 grand?
damn well ill sell mine for 2 grand to anyone who wants to take this steal of a deal! this way i can buy new replacement lights and mirrors and the termi exhaust im saving for, prolly still come out ahead.
At least they tried to be clever in moving the left over '05 models out, let me guess, they had about 30 left over they need to sell?
BTW whats the 'F' for in SS1000F? (I would guess france? are there different street spec requirements for various countries in europe? that could get expensive to produce, I had just assumed there was US model and European/everywhere else model)

Yowza!!! what was the sticker on that??dartfrog said:....then talk to BCM about a titanium frame somone told you about for this model.

and....what did it weigh? [you will probably have to kill us after divulging the info.....]
30 bikes at $7,999 apiece is nearly a quarter of a million dollars... You want that in cash or in inventory gathering dust?apagios said:At least they tried to be clever in moving the left over '05 models out, let me guess, they had about 30 left over they need to sell?
Keep in mind that Ducati may not sell 1,000 SuperSports for the whole of 2005 and next year, when the rest of the Sport Classics arrive, they'll probably sell even fewer of them. In that context, 30 bikes is a fairly significant number - 3% of annual sales or more than 10% of what they sell in any quarter.
For all we know Ducati may be in the process of killing the SuperSport line completely. Or maybe the Sport Classic line will kill it for them. Anybody wanna guess how many SuperSports Ducati will sell next year now that the Classics are on the way???
and a higher price tag.
...Voila!!MikeM said:and a higher price tag.
I remember this snap floating around last year sometime. I sure did like what I saw but it's still not what I'd call practical. Not to say I wouldn't buy one though.
