what a shame bro.... and this sunday i'm working, otherwise i'll request a mini supersport reunion!

 

from the spy photos, i dont see the diavel looking like a harley. feels more like a honda dream or a B-King or MT-01 competitor to me, or more like a Ducati Monster evil cousin... hehe! oops...

 

I think it is trying to look like your NRS.

[muhdraihan]

[coldbarrel]

Bro, is the price 41K for the 2011 1198 model.

It should be 2011 1198 model because the $35,800 was for the 848 2011 model. Anyway i just place an order for the 848 evo. Bike will arrive either dec or latest Jan.

For you boys to enjoy. At that period when the movie was made, Ducati wasn't as popular as now. Therefore, it was one of the few movies that featured a Ducati extensively. I still think its one of the best chase scenes ever made with a Ducati.

movie preview

Released: 1996

Though serving a prison sentence for using his computer to embezzle from an international corporation, Dodge (Stephen Baldwin) still thinks of himself as an ordinary criminal. His fellow convict, Piper (Lawrence Fishburne), whose basic decency leads him to protect Dodge from an assault by another prisoner, thinks the same. Neither Piper nor Dodge particularly like each other; matters are not improved when they are chained together. When a prison riot transforms into a break-out opportunity, they get to know one another better on the run, and neither is any too thrilled about it. The action soon grows fast and furious when they realize that they are not only on the run from the usual police authorities, but from several different kinds of police and a gang of mobsters, whom Dodge has unknowingly endangered.

*PS-THE COOLEST PART OF THE MOVIE?

ME RECKON IS THE TIME WHEN 2 CONVICT

HIDE THE "GOODS"ON 1 OF THE STARS OF THE SHOWS(A PAIR OF 916).

WHICH ONE,I HEARD U ASK?

THEY HIDE IN ON A 616!

1 OF THEM 'VE THE NUMBER UPSIDE DOWN!!!!

INGENIOUS,U BET?[img]http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/ad37/fesa7044/3861-1.jpg[/img]

 

 

 

Crappy film, good bike, is about what we can say of this Ducati 916 road race from the film Fled (which can hardly be described as a motorcycle movie, but it fits our purpose for today). Talking of the film, it was made in 1996 starring Lawrence Fishburn and Stephen Baldwin. Which puts it at the heyday of the Ducati 916, and its first victory back in 1994 with Carl Fogarty onboard. Despite the apparent problems of trustworthiness, Ducati lost the World Superbike constructors title only once, in 1997. The video is clearly not any kind of riding we’d like to attempt on a road with traffic but hell, we can pay homage to another lovely Ducati.

Maybe ill buy the 999 next year if I sell the 954. Now would I get rid of the 954 for a 999? Absolutly!!! Without second thought....

The New York Times

Published: June 22, 1997WHAT -- The Ducati 916 Superbike, a fantasy toy for proud owners like the chef David Bouley, the supermodel Tyson Beckford, the singers Lyle Lovett and Billy Joel, and the actors Jason Priestley and Stephen Baldwin. At around $16,000, this motorcycle is a lot less expensive than a flashy sports car.

 

A STAR IS BORN -- The Ducati 916 starred in the movie ''Fled'' last year and has appeared on television in ''Beverly Hills 90210.'' This summer, audiences at ''Speed 2'' are staring right past Sandra Bullock and Jason Patric and drooling over the red 916 that Mr. Patric rides in the opening sequence. It roars, it jumps, it dodges falling objects, and in general it proves the manufacturer's point that the 916 is fast: top speed is 160 miles an hour.

 

WARNING -- ''We don't recommend that people use the bikes that way,'' said David Gross, a Ducati spokesman. ''The reality is that the average rider shouldn't and wouldn't reach the bike's full potential.''
