Actually, John...

A Ducati is the most impractical Bike you could ever come across for every-day use... ;)...!
Their gear ratios are unsuitable, their dry clutches rattle, and they cost an arm and a leg to maintain....

..but they look wonderful parked in the front driveway!... ;D...!

Paul.... ;D...!

...but I would still like a red one...on my Mantle-piece.... :-*...!

There's a saying around the lads i know Paul, Ducati's.... Making engineer's out of bikers since 1926... plus there one of the only 600cc+ bikes that i can actually reach the floor on while seated normally on them!!! (that and the tt600)

Lamborghini Reventon, preferably with a touch-screen MFD on the dash, full carbon-fiber and titanium honeycomb composite construction, a big forward-swept spoiler, convertable hard-top, and two GE T701Ds.  ;D :D
Although I think I might rip the car apart with the 6x hp of my T701Ds. ;D

Do Ducati have any plans to make a nice looking motorbike? Lambo and Ferrari have it down with their cars.

;D

Not much into cars, though my ex-boss had a fully restored 68 Olds Cuttlass I drove a few times and fell in love with [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

Bike (even though i dont have a license for that)
BMW R1200GS



Finally a good choice! Just drove one 2 weeks ago - didn't want my R100GS back...


For a car it would maybe be a Lancia Delta HF Evo

After spending two days with Ducati's up at Cadwell, i can appreciate them for what they are... This will also answer this quote from a few posts ago:

...and I guess they'll get even more pricey - Valentino Rossi has signed a 2-year-contract with Ducati for the MotoGP!  ;)

well I guess I would take a jeep wrangler same as what I have now.

I would add all of the power options, ie power windows/locks and swap out the automatic transmission to a 6 speed manual.  would also include a hard top for the winter as well as the upgraded stereo to one that includes the nav system and built in HDD.

After that add some Wrangler durra trac a/t tires and a bestop trektop soft top for the summer I'd be ready to go.

I'm pretty realistic in my desires...for the most part

Car:
2011 Ford Mustang GT(Shelby Cobra version would be nice)

Bike:
Suzuki GSXR1000

I would like to get to drive a Ferrari 575, but I don't think I'd ever buy one, even if I could.  I know a couple of guys that have/had Ferraris and Lambos, they truly are junk.  They might look nice, sound awesome, and be fast, but they fall apart.
