Yeah. but would the Desmos have

"In its simple perfection this Ducati represents a unique combination of noblesse, elegance and lightness which establishes a felicitous symbiosis of technical high performance and timeless beauty as well."

I am ALL about extraneous wordiness in writing, but this guy could have cut that whole description down by about half if he really wanted to.  He also seems to be a bit redundant on some of the specs.  Be that as it may, however, I was thinking the OP must have been mistaken when he wrote the subject line.  I was wrong.  Gotta love monocoque carbon goodies. 

Oh, and Jameslist?  Has he spoken to Craig about this?

Carbon frames are a bit controversial, they don't have the same "feel" as steel tub ung and it's hard to measure deflection, vibration, etc. The weight is nice, but withing the relm of a steel trellis. Of coure, if you cash one pretty good, well,.......................

Ya,....I wonder what the weight difference is between the steel trellis and the carbon frame?

I saw that bike in a magazine sometime this year.  An article about motorcycle supertuners.  Don't remember which mag, but that is definitely one of the bikes from the article.
