Title: Leaked pic of Ducati GP10 Post by: bluemoco on December 23, 2009, 09:56:09 AM So, Nick Hayden accidentally (?) leaked this pic of the Ducati GP10 bike.

Title: Re: Leaked pic of Ducati GP10 Post by: bluemoco on December 23, 2009, 10:22:11 AM What's goin' on with those forks? Looks like a different style of front brake rotor, too. Carbon-ceramic? Last year's rotor looked a bit different. GP09 pic, for comparison: (http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/photogallerys/hayden-stoner-desmosedici-gp9.jpg) Title: Re: Leaked pic of Ducati GP10 Post by: zooom on December 23, 2009, 10:31:30 AM What's goin' on with those forks? could be for mock up also though... Title: Re: Leaked pic of Ducati GP10 Post by: Drunken Monkey on December 27, 2009, 09:09:36 AM Doesn't look any different to me. Just a slightly different routing of lines and the travel measurement thing is out of whack.
Title: Re: Leaked pic of Ducati GP10 Post by: derby on December 27, 2009, 03:25:27 PM ...and the travel measurement thing is out of whack. i think that's just a reflection of the front stand. Title: Re: Leaked pic of Ducati GP10 Post by: Drunken Monkey on December 27, 2009, 10:39:36 PM i think that's just a reflection of the front stand. So basically, it looks normal. If you can call a $20K front end "normal" Title: Re: Leaked pic of Ducati GP10 Post by: gm2 on December 27, 2009, 10:45:21 PM good deal more than that, i'm sure...

And on closer examination it does look like they've changed the "remote" reservoir somewhat. It appears to be much smaller, and mounted horizontally, rather than in parallel with the fork tubes. Title: Re: Leaked pic of Ducati GP10 Post by: gm2 on December 28, 2009, 10:40:56 AM Are the forks really more than $20K? sbk forks can be more than that, even Title: Re: Leaked pic of Ducati GP10 Post by: derby on December 28, 2009, 11:42:56 AM And on closer examination it does look like they've changed the "remote" reservoir somewhat. It appears to be much smaller, and mounted horizontally, rather than in parallel with the fork tubes. they're probably using a similar part to yamaha (with the internal reservoir). Title: Re: Leaked pic of Ducati GP10 Post by: superjohn on December 28, 2009, 03:04:25 PM they're probably using a similar part to yamaha (with the internal reservoir). Didn't the Showas on the Honda bikes have a similar set-up? So, if this is what Yamaha had last year (and we know Rossi gets the premium Ohlin's stuff first) I wonder what the new Yammy will have this year. Title: Re: Leaked pic of Ducati GP10 Post by: Speeddog on December 28, 2009, 03:49:21 PM Or this could be a set of 'junk' forks they clanked on just to hold the front end up.
