Title: Desmo GP13
Post by: triangleforge on January 22, 2013, 08:04:50 PM
While the article itself mostly talks about how little info Ducati has released about the GP13 (no surprise, really), these are the first detailed pix I've seen of it:

Since none of the manufacturers are going to give accurate numbers on such things, I think at least one of them should take a page from the old Rolls Royce marketing materials and list horsepower as "Adequate."

HP better be just more than "adequate"! [laugh]

Still wondering why they have the screens on their GP bike's exhaust?? To keep out squirrels and nest building wasps? ;D

No shit.

If they collect more than 2 podiums in '13, I'll probably wet my pants.
