Yes, they're performance upgrades.

This is from official site and it's a 2010. special edition.


But this one could almost make me forget about Ducati

Both Daytona and Triples are still shown with Showa/Kayaba suspension on the official site.
So if I understand  correctly those Öhlins and Arrow and other sweet bits are completely optional upgrades?


Right now somebody at the Ducati factory is wondering who stole his cans of paint.

I think they look fun and all, but I have never cared for the aesthetic of the bug eyes or the engine/frame design.

If I ever got bored with Ducati (not likely to happen) I might look into these, but its just not my cup of tea for a naked. I'd rather have a naked MV/KTM if I was going naked, design-wise. Just never been a fan of the boobies on that bike or the chassis design.

That being said, the forks/triples/brakes/wheels look great. As does the white striping.

I seriously may have found my new bike with the aftermarket exhaust and belly pan  [thumbsup] [moto]

I love how people can talk about other brands of bikes on this forum.  People talk about how they want a different bike either to replace their current or add to their collections.  It's refreshing coming from other brand specific forums where the members think what they have is the best there ever was and ever will be.

Yeah good point.

I think lots of members here have more than one bike in the stable and they can appreciate other brands as well  [thumbsup]  [moto]
