[Ducati] D16RR

[Harlyn Jenkins]

Was Bimota's Vdue ever raced, or just supposed to be a street going 500cc GP
bike?  I am sure thie D16RR will be a lot more reliable than the Vdue :)

Ducati - what an AMAZING machine!  I love the "team" version with the big
white stripe on the side - beautiful.  I am also glad to see they have gone
back to the 916-esque side by side headlights.  Are we seeing the future of
the superbike stylings?  I sure hope so!

Hi Guys
Well done Ducati! Overall this is a really big accomplishment to be first to
bring their GP bike to the public. This is what Ducati is about. Now it
isn't perfect mind you. What were they thinking the exhaust exists are
straight up in the air through the tail. You can't wash this bike or leave
it in the rain without covering the tail. I am sure they had their reasons
but was that really the only solution? My only other comment would be the
black on the belly pan there should be either more black or no black. The
line they those doesn't match the race bikes because on the race bike there
is a dark blue band directly on top of the black section and visually that
extends the black further forward and up which looks better in my opinion.
Boy that isn't much for me to complain about.

Congratulations to Ducati!
