Not sure if this has had exposure here already but... this floats my boat..

Couldn’t work out how to post the final image (rear view) from the web page...

I like Red Max's stuff - it's owned by Steve Hillary who started Moto Rapido with Wilf way back in 2002. He's the one who gave me my first Ducati Performance catalogue and so is wholly to blame for my current addiction!

Its a lovely looking bike. There are so many great looking features (though I'm not a fan of the vertical twin headlight), but the stand out item for me is that exhaust!

Orange and black look good on a ducati,especially with the 80s style logos

Yes, its bloomin luverly.
There are, as with many customs, a few things that I would do differently myself but it would be wrong to even mention them really.
For me, it just oozes the purposeful simplicity that characterises what a Ducati is all about.

Careful with that lust though.
I had similar feelings about a certain NCR 1100 evo a few years ago and that might have ended up costing me £33k.
I still catch my breath when I recall our brief, physical encounter .. in the car park outside the factory.

I know just what you mean, utopia. I was so smitten with the NCR 1100 Evo when I saw it on here that I saved the photo to my phone. This is the one you mean, isn't it?

Luckily I never saw it in the flesh otherwise...

Wasn't it Oscar Wilde who wrote "I can resist everything except temptation"?

That is the very moment that my lust was fired and running rampant, oh yes.
You should have felt the thing .. it just came alive, even at a standstill.
Around 140kg, if memory serves.
Its the reason that my Stella got her carbon wheels, and will be on a continued lightening programme.

Though, tbh the orange one may be prettier.
