Ducati Monster Forum

Went for a squirt to Fraser’s yesterday and what did I see hiding in the corner  :o a Desmosedici  8)

first time I have seen one up close all I can say its  work of art [thumbsup]

So after fondling it for a good 15 min, I thought id try my luck and ask some one to fire it up and guess what they did :o

So what did it sound like  ??? well anyone remember what Jukies bike sounded like on the last ride ??? yeh thats it  :-\

The stock system sounds crap [puke] but in the back ground there is a hint of what lurks within I would like to se the DP kit installed  [evil]

Wow what a machine 8)

Turns out Warren will be riding it at eastern creek on the 31st track day   Hmmmm ???  DMF ride or Eastern creek  ??? ??? :-[ :-[ ??? ???

and for the Melbournites....

Zagames on Richmond aren't taking service orders next week - the Desmosedici's are apparently taking over the shop the whole week!

If the weather is shocking next week...perhaps we can met at a Richmond cafe, do coffee then walk on up?

I assume you were talking about me .... crap! ha! I am so offended.

S'pose it is the only time my baby will be compared to a desmosedici  [laugh]

Sorry Jukie this place can be so vicious some times but the truth can only make you stronger  be strong little Jukie  [moto] [cheeky]

I only used you as a referance as you are the only monster owner i know with stock pipes  ;D

The desmo sounded Crap based on its potential and my expectations ;)

Jukie and her Desmosedici 620 .....  [moto]

Once again Jukie this place is vicious [evil]

The Desmosedici is twice the bike of any Monster.
Don't be offended Monsterheads. Remember: this racer with lights is a V4.
I am waiting for a V4 version of the Monster to appear in the near future.
Dream on.... I hear you say.
If we don't ask DUCATI for a Monster DD16.....  we will never see it happen.
Tell your local Dealer what we really want.
I have already requested my next Multistrada to come with 16 valves and await their reply.
Cheers (and happy dreaming!) BIG AL
 

Ah BIG AL You have me salivating D16 Multistrada  ;D
I miss my multi  :'(

But did you miss-treat the Multi ?
Did you monster the Multi ?
Did you out Smart the Multi once too many times ?

Guilty on all counts will i ever be forgiven :'(

Forgiven, as long as you never sell (or give away, part company, dispose of, write off) another Ducati.... as long as you live!
Welcome to the life of a "Collector"

Dose this mean i have no chance of getting the GT ???

The GT is far removed from this topic (DD16).
The hijacking of this thread to serve the purpose of obtaining the unobtainable (said GT),
is outside the guidelines of this forum.
Please keep to the topic.
p.s. how do you become a "full member" ? Is pulling up trouble-makers (like yourself), helpful in upgrading from "new" to "full member" ?

Once again  when I bring up the topic of the GT you take a side step your very consistant BIG Al that why i like to ride with you [thumbsup]

You will become a full member in good time Young BIG AL may the force be with you  ???

Ducati Adelaide has 2 of these magnificent machines in the showroom with buyers lining up.... wow.. at the price I didnt think too many would be getting sold in Adelaide but they assure me they have firm orders and deposits... WOW.. They are a great looking bike but I think I would take a 1098S  and the change... lol

Bret

80 DD16's sold in Australia. 12 have landed. the remaining deliveries may take the rest of the year.
A friend bought one recently. He bought one for his wife too!
Or was that... his wife bought one for him too ?
Anyhow.... they will be able to race each other on equal equipment.... on the race track, of course !
 

You only know 1 person BIG AL [roll]

BTW,I have had wispers today that your mate that bought 2 has dropped out of the deal for the second, Oooh thats 5k he will never see again :-[

Needs the $ to finish his house said his wife  >:(

This means he has no ride and she has :-[

Aaahhh, the wicked webs we weave.  ;D

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

would love to go and see it.......even more so if there was some entertainment as well


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Oz44oGaI4c

cool..
my boss is getting one and Iv'e been told I can have a ride on on it (not gunna hold my breath)
like I said on TOF, there's 13 of em sold here, we'll see em commuting....    [roll]

Dock, you can't go out there for the track day, if you see it going round you'll  :'( :'( :'( then  ;D ;D ;D then  :'( :'( :'( again...

If the weather is crap, I'm up for a tram ride :-[

Ita

True that but it would be a nice site to see [thumbsup]

...hhmmmm. Wonder what I would have to do to pleade for a  [moto] on a 'esmosedichi ah! ~ [cheeky]~~ - Chris

I am doing this track day and I really look froward to seeing this baby on the track [moto] [thumbsup]

Maybe we will see it from the side lines [laugh]

I think the little monsters will take a beating with Craig on the desmo. maybe you will get a glimpse as he sends you into a new dimension when he laps you down the straight [laugh] [laugh]

Just a peek of a team version kitted up [thumbsup]

Geez I don't know how those fancy new red tyres would go through the corners - I think I will stick with my plain old black ones thanks  [cheeky] [laugh]

Just so that we understand each other here - I intend to watch the DD16 on the track - not be on the track at the same time..... [bang] Jeeezzz......

I’ve been told you get down and boogie on the track Rusty cant tell me a big bad Desmo can scare you [evil] [laugh] [laugh]

Ahh,  ummm, welll, um, yeah, I mean no ....

Ah stuff it - That is why I am booked into the Yellow group [cheeky]

Lets hope Warren Lee wont ride the D16RR in the yellow group [cheeky]

So what level is the yellow group then?
Never done one of these track days.
But I am going to one in August with the D.O.C. NSW people.
I'm told we've filled the yellow group with Duc's

Should be pretty no less...

Hey Matty,

There are 4 groups - White (slowest), Yellow, (next level), green (Fast) and Red (racers).

I will be there in the DOC NSW Aug day too! Should be a heap of fun! [cheeky]

Great I should be comfortable then.
Have been on track plenty of times in a cage.
Will be my first venture out on the Duc.

Which is why I wanted to do a course before.

Matty from what i have seen yellow is a great group you can always start the day at the back of the pack if you don’t feel confident work your way up slowly as you get more confident .I have a mate in the red group that in my opinion is kidding him self.

He is running 1:58 which is consistent with some guys in Green or faster yellow .The higher groups IMO is for people whom have developed good race craft so if you get in there way they will run you down there vicious bastards but they can rids.

I have ridden with you many time you’ll have no problem, when the fun stops just slow down its simple there won’t be a bimbo in a Bikini with a trophy waiting for you when you finish.

Ditto your comments Matty. Would like to know what I am doing right and fix those nasty bad habits that I don't know I am doing........ Then a track day could be fun......

And agree with you Dock "when the fun just stops just slow down".  [thumbsup]

Cool, I am looking forward to it.
I know I'll be fine, just nervous like the first time I went out on the road on my bike.
Nervous but so excited I got over it pretty quickly.

Matty...

It will be the first time at eastern creek for me on the DOC day in August also, but im not nervous as some of the guys I regularly see on the track I ride with.
They are not super heros just normal human like the rest of us  [thumbsup]

Hang on BIG AL will be there Hmm maybe i wear my sons Bat man costume.

Now for the real sound  ;D

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=2mY8H9MVhxE&feature=related

Fark me, that sounds angry!

WANT!

Now that's what she should sound like.....
Angry and barking like a doberman with crocky voice.

 

Now this one sounds much better  [thumbsup]

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=NoHajCCvlp4&feature=related

Ya just JONESING are you......

The guy who got on it is either a 6ft plus giant or else the bike is pretty small...

Its smaller than the 1098 :o

171kg

less 16kg's of road going Sh#t :o

Ummmm, hmmmmm.

SCHWING! BADDA, BADDA, BADDA!

Speechless, I am without speech.


 [thumbsup]

even sounds good standing still!

nice, that 2nd video was much better.  [thumbsup]

Hey all,

Is the Desmosedici the only Duc around with that distinctive striped paint?  Cos if it is I reckon I saw one the other day when I was out on the pushy.  He was heading through Hurstbridge in the city direction.  Probably been for a spin up around Kinglake way.
If it was then you are right about the exhaust.  It sounds very lame.  I didn't pay any attention at first because it sounded so ordinary but when it went past and I saw the paint I nearly snapped my neck trying to get a better look. :o
Now, how do I scam a ride? [evil] [evil]

Cheers.

[

Considering there has been only 1 delivery as yet he would have been a she ???

As for a ride 5K deposit non refundable :o

How come you know so much about this issue Doc?  [cheeky]

Dock RReads a lot and suRRfs the web as well.....  [coffee]

SoRRy foRR my stutteRR....  [cheeky]

I think you neeRRd to seeRR someone aboutRR that....RR

Meister, I rang Zagames (in Richmond) earlier this week, so far 2 have been built up by them - one has already left - so it is possible you saw one in Melbourne.

the other was described as 'in a corner tucked away' which is motorcycle shop talk for 'I don't know you and think you're a wanker'

good riding out of Hurstbridge, eh!

Just well infoRRmed RRusty  ;D

This stutteRR is contagious haRR HaRR haRR haRR [laugh]

Mmmm.... RRRR u suRRRRe we aRRRRe not talking about the new DocstRRRRRRada mobile.......

It's magnificent up here and the best thing is that it's my backyard!

Cheers.

 ;D X 16

Dear Doc(k),
It wud appear you have a thing about the # 16.
Is that Y U fell in love with the PSR1000 ?
The Desmosedici has 16 valves !
 {singing} "I see red, I see Red , I see RED" ! ;) :P :-X [thumbsup] [cheeky]

Gee it has 16 Valves funny that ???

I still cant woRRk out why eveRRyone has suddenly developed a stutteRR  any ideas BIG AL  [cheeky] ;D

I know youRR seeking help for your stutteRR so when do we expect it to finally be fixed by that special place you visit?????  ;D  ;D

My therapy finishes in December 8)

So I had a phone call the other day went something like this

Bike shop: Hey Vince you desmo’s here [thumbsup]

Me: Yeh that good but I don’t want it yet I said deliver it in December  [roll]

Bike shop: Oh that right. But would you take it any earlier ???

Me: Nah got heaps off traveling to do between now and then [moto]

So my travel plans have been canceled am now thinking should I take up the offer and pick it up early or wait until the weather gets better and they get better at building them??? :-\

Being the all round good guy I am  and out of the goodness of my heart Dock I'll keep in my garage till December for you......  [thumbsup]

PS: If it was me...... I'd take it NNNOOWWWWW......

There is also an economic reason waiting until December, I only need to finance 1/3 of the cost in December where I would need finance 1/2 the cost now.

Personally I never take an early model anything.
You never know by December they may even include a hugger as standard if enough customers ark up.
Choice is ultimately yours 20 odd k is a big enough difference in finance and interest.

but if you want to dive in you know we'll all support you with any offer of sleep overs we can.
Can you get a good look at WF's bike at Frasers, as in under the skin that might help you make up your mind as to build quality.

I dunno, might just be talking crap also.

No, my garage is much bigger.

I can't make your mind up for you, but, sounds to me like it's a customer's bike that they haven't got the balls to pay for it. Or they realised they can't afford it.

It won't be any different in December, get it now and it will be waiting for you when you come back from your travels. Something to look forward to after working hard. ;D

Super I have a 1300 square mtr warehouse so a place to put it wont be a problem .It will be living in my office when im not riding it .

I also had the impression it was a cancellation ,But im in no hurry as I enjoy my current Ducati’s, but it would be nice to have it for my track day in August .

The current deliveries are having some teething problems at the moment so getting it in December will more than likely sort them out [thumbsup]

Yeah this is what I'm thinking that it is such a high performance machine that teething problems will be part of early ownership.
Just read the general board and see all the issues the new 696 owners are having.

I sort of figured you would have a bigger space than me.  :P

But it would look much nicer being looked after while you are away.

It will be lonely in that big warehouse.  ;)

So that _wasn't_ you at the Halfway House on the weekend that everybody is forwarding photos around of?

big

Is that the same as the bloke who wrote in AMCN of a D16 in the RNP?

Stopped at Bald Hill? Is Halfway House another name for Bald Hill?

Would have thought Halfway House on the Putty ....

I dunno, I'm just guessing...

One was spotted at Bald Hill.


 

Nah not me big  [thumbsup]

wait till December.
you dont ride the Ducatis you have now, often enough ! [roll]
I know, Life is what happens to you, while you are busy, making other plans! (JL 1940-80)

Yeh your right BIG AL, again. Just remind me, when was the last time you were wrong 1970 or something. although i could be wrong again  :-[

He thought he was wrong once, but he was mistaken  ;)
