hi every1

sori to interrupt...

goin to take my 2A pretty soon and i am aiming for a ducati monster 400

been lookin for it but news goes that it is only available in the japan market

can anyone help me clarify on this??? :confused:

Yes, there's a new M400 Monster EFI at Minerva showroom.

 

Why dun you just look for a used one and get a brand new Class 2 Ducati instead?

Is Ducati SS1000DS available in S'pore?

I think there are some older models around albeit smaller cc.

Maybe the rest can advise.

i ever thought of gettin a class 2 ducati but after serious consideration tink a 400 will do, i tink it all goes down to your riding habit and lifestyle...s i dun travel much..

 

16k for a M4 is almost the same for super4..hmm..i assume downpayment abt 4k? Any1 noes??

think down payment is calculated from the otr price of the bike? think 10%?

bro, 16k is the machine price of the efi m4, dats excluding 5% gst, coe, rd tax, insurance, new vehicle registration, erp iu, and stuff like dat.

and think after adding up & throwing in the total interest incurred from ur hire purchase definately exceed 20k liao!

16k for a spec3 is otr+hire purchase interest add up, koz machine price for it last time i heard is 12.5k nia.

and i saw a fba plate m4 liao... been a regular visitor to minerva... riding on it dat is.... haha.

was wondering how much does the new m7 costs? if m4 can fetch 16k machine price liao, then most prob it's approaching 20k? damned....

and m4 cant outran any other 400cc jap bikes, though most prob in pickup will leave them behind in smoke haha.

air cooled v twin engines are supposed to have alot more torque but lower redlines compared to watercooled inline4s. and i heard the performance of a 600cc v twin is oni comparable to a 400cc inline4 nia.

and in bike mags they always compared a 800cc monster to other 600cc bikes instead. so u dun get the most efficiency from a monster but instead alot of style & sound!

i think a m6 or m7's sufficient for me in a yr's time, considering the cost of the insurance & the rd tax.

Ducati to launch Desmosedici road bike.

In the build-up to next weekend's Italian Grand Prix at Mugello, home manufacturer Ducati will launch its much anticipated Desmosedici road bike - the first production machine to come out of the factory's MotoGP project. The launch of the V4 powered road bike, which is based upon Ducati's MotoGP prototype, will take place on Thursday 1 June at 11.30am.

[D.O.C]

woooooooow...

 

wonder how it will look like

Ducati Desmosedici RR, 990 V4 MotoGP road replica ready!

Next Thursday, June 1st is the big day for everyone that has been waiting for the most exclusive and powerful Ducati ever. I am not even going to guess about how powerful it is as it will all be revealed right here after noon next Thursday after the Mugello launch. What we do know now is that Ducati is planning 3-400 bikes and that there will be two different versions. It is expected that 100 of them will be a super super exclusive RR with all the best bits bolted on. Another 300 could be a "standard" version if you can call a 990cc MotoGP derived V4 standard. If you own a 999R here are some good news for you since your wallet probably can take it. Ducati says: "Starting from June 2 it will be possible to reserve the bikes through the dealer network worldwide. 999R owners will have pre-emption rights." "The bike will 'run' for the next 3 months in the most important Exhibition worldwide, to arrive in November at the Eicma Show in Milan." You lucky bas***ds on 999Rs!

I saw the pics already! Is the bike legally to ride on the road??? Are they going to sell in SGP?

[cagiva03]

I have been so busy with my work lately, and i have been missing out the track session for quite some time. Maybe i might try to squeeze in some time next week for a spin in PG. Hopefully we can all gather again.

[cagiva03]

So how was the track session?

Guys, I have some Duc T shirts to sell....see the link on my siggy?

 

Ktkt, there's white and size M.....you better grab it fast cuz I did not take in too much Ducs designs.

Hi Dani, you could tail gate cos when he is doing his coaching the timing is around 2mins or so , I timed you once on your monster , you were there abouts, but of course when 5th rider is not teaching & doing his thing he is in the 42s , thats what i call see only 1 or 2 corner sthen it bye bye , I did the course with him , really is beneficial , it is no use trying to better your time going round & round many many times when one is doing the wrong thing , it is not quantity but the quality of the ridng , you surely cut your timing without yourself realising it cos he teaches you less panic situation & riding very very smoothly !@!! not braking so late that you 've got a thousand & one things to do later in the turn !!!
