Was working in Christchurch and on route home was popping into 3 leg cross for some parts, when a Desmosedici came pass me, the weather wasn't too clever either!! It had a trade plate on and drove round to workshop garages and was ridden straight into the garages. My god i could hear her coming for about 3 mins before it turned up! I've been to MotoGp's and heard the real deal (and this was no different!!) What an amazing thing to have produced for the road!

Just a shame i wasn't armed with my camera!

Having sat behind one in traffic for miles on end I can confirm you certainly cant hear anything else over it! :D

Aylesbury had one in the showroom awaiting collection and one out on road test with the full race kit one.Made my little monster sound like a 50cc moped !

I'm still hoping to see one.

That said, I've still yet to see another 696 on the road too, so I guess they're still pretty rare too...

...I can delude myself ;)

I just saw one in Parkinsons Colchester. It had a sign saying "please don't touch". It should have had one saying "please don't drool" Which is exactly what I was doing! I'm sure I heard on the news recently that they are considering legalising the payment of organ donors. Maybe I can put that kidney on ebay after all......!

Yes,when I type the words"Italian one" it means I saw an Italian registered bike and also spoke to the Italian owner,and he had an Italian registered van,how much more Italian do you need????

If he was eating pizza with some pasta and wearing a toga, that would be more Italian ;)
