and that is a good thing?  lol

just like on the early monsters the fuses could be accessed without lifting the tank, great for if you had a problem you could easily just check the fuses without moving anything. oh well.. gone are the days of "convenience".  [clap]

Haha, no not really, it's just the reason why. They've sacrificed convenience for aesthetics.

i like how the gauges are well thought out right in front of the rider also that the fuses are right there and not underneath the faring for easy access.. now why can't ducati do that with current bikes, you know for actual convenience?


ummm...aren't the fuses for the Terbortion 749/999 easily accessable on the right side next to the headlight?

If I were to buy the bike (that is if I can even fit on it ) I'd ride it easy since it's suppose to have about 100 hp so no need to go strafing.

I 'll do that w, the " R " and the " RR ."

I think they are beautiful ...just don't know how much riding I would do on it since I already have 3 late model bikes that I struggle to put miles on.

If I could get it into my sound room I'd just admire it. May be sit on it while I blast " Born to be Wild."
