Ryan... Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Cant go wrong with an R1! Is that an 07 or 08? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REKIII Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 08. There was no black and gold in 07. Most people don't even know how to differentiate down to that though!It will look quite different when it's back together again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampelsauce Posted July 27, 2012 Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Fun bikes. We had a black and gold '08 at the shop I used to work at. It had a power commander and Leo Vince pipes. It was ripper, needless to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will look quite different when it's back together again. Yeah I was going off the body style, didn't know that about the colors.. I'm kind of obsessed with Ducati superbikes.. I'll probably pick up a 1098s next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got the triple mosly mounted last night, but I have to fabricate a tool to tighten the inner nut. Not tight enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) you mean riding me right?.... hehehe Yeah ducatis are beautiful bikes. I'm an inline 4 fan, and always had a hard on for R1's. Really sucks that it's been down all season so far. Got the triple mosly mounted last night, but I have to fabricate a tool to tighten the inner nut. Not tight enough. I like almost anything on two wheels. I've had 3 Hondas (F2, F4i, 600rr), and I've ridden my brothers Buell XB9r a lot, as well as my 1507cc Victory V-twins just do it for me, I like the noise and relatively flat power band. The top end rush of I4s is awesome, the 06 1000rr I rode was devastatingly fast.. I'm pumped that with the release of the 1199, the 1098 should start dropping in price pretty darn soon! Whats wrong with the R1? I know you had the exhaust pipe issue, any mechanical things wrong? Edited July 31, 2012 by Ryan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is 'wrong' with it, just went a little overboard with the modifications and have very little time to work on it. Now a bunch of things have gotten out of hand, wrong stuff etc, so it's been dragging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REKIII Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Not yet. Very little time, but I want too. Not sure if I will this year anymore. I have all the gear and what not.
