Mountains out of mole hills.

the spiderman bike has a latte holder in the rear cowl (it's no longer a beer tray)

From the link:

"Correction: According to Ducati North America, the Streetfighter was a display bike only and OCC/Ducati Hudson Valley haven't yet taken delivery of one."

That sort of implies to me that they didn't do those mods or.....?
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

That OCC ducati looks like make the beast with two backs.

This relationship will not work, one way or the other.  Either OCC will piss off Ducati (not likely, since they are in bed), or OCC will piss off the existing Ducati base enough they will not buy mew bike.  2 of my coworkers today asked if I was ready to get ride of my Monster due to the OCC relationship.  One of them summed it up the best, a bmw is looking better and better isn't it.

The Spiderman bike is an 1100, not a Streetfighter...

IMO, OCC and "all" Bravo reality TV shows are trash television.  DNA's actions are analogous to putting a Ducati add in the National Enquirer or Star Magazine.   :-X   [puke]

Check out what they've done to this Monster:



Poor thing

other than the cowl it looks the same to me.  If Ducati wants to make more money by selling bikes to people who won't ride them and then sell them used a year later, I'm all for it.

What the hell is that?  Spawn-Spiderman's bike?  Sorry, that's nasty.  If a dude came up to me riding that looking to buy me a drink, I'd laugh and think him an idiot because of that bike.

I'm not saying that I am super-great or anything.. I'm saying that even I am not so desperate to talk to a dude who would own that bike.  That bike makes me want to puke.

It's a half-ass job. They didn't even plug up the front turning indicator mount holes  [roll]

The rear cowl on that spider bike is so awful, it distracts from the mess they've made on the rest of the bike.

Really, that rear-cowl could not be more unsuited to the bike.

I'd like to be absolutely clear: it's awful.

And I like to totally agree on that  !!
OCC sucks, they can only weld shit to ugly pieces of Metal and are such pansies on TV....gaawd

No Seriously...
I don't want Harley people to even understand what it is that makes a Duc so special and pristine even totally stock..

I just followed that link.

Yes.. the bike is a "SPAWN" bike.  Stupid.  Are they going to make an Incredible Hulk version in green and purple next?
