Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I thought this one was worth it.  By Firestarter Garage:

Agreed...

Have you ever experienced the hit of an H2?   

H2?   Dolph

An awesomely gorgeous work of Ducati Art.   

What model is it ?   Dolph

750 on 500 frame
Alu tank
FZR swingarm

For those of you who never rode one of these, they ran like a scalded dog. 

I remember back in the early '70s I think. Kawasaki came out w, a 3 cylinder, 2 stroke bike that really gave out British 650cc Twins  a lot of trouble in the speed department.      Dolph

That A* sticker is brutal on that bike 

A rubber coated steel weight on the right handle bar ?    Perhaps it's just one of those warm up weights for Golfers . The weight has a cutout large enough to slip on a golf club shaft and then slides down to the head of the club and the Golfer swings the club several times to loosen up before actually starting to play .

Usually placed on a Golfer's Driver . Maybe it was just placed there for no intended reason other than a place to put it temporarily.    Dolph

Some of these seats just look SO comfortable... [moto]...

A pair of Dainese Pro shorts w,Tailbone pad and a pair of Leather pants and you don't hardly notice the seat being so uncomfortable.   Dolph

supakpow2, is the 1st photo once a CL 160 or 305 cc ?   Dolph

I think it was the original Super Hawk, when I was 16 a friends Dad had one that hadn't been ridden in years. I did everything I could to beg, borrow, or steal that thing.

Here's a couple more nice examples I'd LOVE to have!















from Laguna Seca at Cannery Row




Another Honda favorite I'd take bone stock.


Some oldies

Dolph, you must be hyper-active.  You did about 5 posts in a row followed up by another round.  To answer your question, that is the MH900e.  MH of course stands for Mike Hailwood.  This bike was sold only on the internet and was the pre-runner to the current Sport Classics.  It came out around 2000.  http://www.ducati.com/bikes/mh900.jhtml
