Title: Moto Corse Shibuya
Post by: DNAspark99 on January 20, 2009, 06:42:05 AM
So I'm living in Tokyo right now. (From Vancouver, Canada originally)
Last saturday I decided to find the local Ducati dealership. To my surprise, Ducati's were the least interesting bikes they had... (bimota and MV are inadmissible to Canada for some stupid reason, so this was the first time I've seen most of these bikes 'in person')

I *really* like the looks of the Bimota DB6C 'in person' (pics can not do this bike justice!). I dare say it's sexier than the Monster  :o  [bow_down]

Nice assortment of bikes.  Thanks for the pix!  I especially like the Bimota half naked bike in the middle, that's very interesting.

Oops...  Sorry, but after the blue/yellow Ducati all I saw was an origami show.  I better take a 2nd look...  [laugh]

Stop by the "Listing" section of this site..."Rising Sun Ducatis" is Japan specific.

Also check out www.gaijinriders.com.
