NCR M16...merged

[cyrus buelton]

Eh, I really don't care too much. Like ducpainter said.


However, sort of contradicting myself as I am taking my 2004 S4r and dumping a lot of money into it so it is different. A lot different.


Not many morons out there buy a carbon fibre swing arm, have their motor pulled to get new cases put on, along with blueprinted cams.

So yeah........I am throwing money down the drain on a bike to be different as well.


Just not as much money as that bike will cost.........

NCR isn't one to reuse bodywork, rods, etc.

They tend to make their own products for these needs. Bodywork is almost always thinner and more aero-efficient (such as their 848 kit), and I wouldn't be surprised if they went all out on the motor and exahust.

1/4 million sounds about right

But the big question.............


will the 1098r still outperform it?

[RetroSBK]

They claim 316, which is over 100 lbs lighter than a stock bike... crazy.. the real D16 is on the scales is about 440 and makes between 160 and 170 at the tire...  have dyno'd 5 of them.

Nice bike for the size five shoe mafia.. tragic that a CBR1000 will smoke it on pretty much any track in the US, and crush it on the street, but thats NOT what its about... Its about riding a real motoGP bike, and 5 years ago, that WAS a motogp bike, so in that regard, its amazing...

The NCR bike may well be the ultimate, ultimate bike. Just because you (me too)  cant afford it doesnt mean that it isnt worth the time and materials they put into it. They are among the best in the world at building and tuning, and look around, their stuff rocks!

did the 1098r ever outperform the desmosedici??  and in what way?

The answer is yes, but I don't recall the specifics.

I believe it performed better on the track and probably the street.


I vaguely remember it having more HP at the wheel than the D16

Meh, I'd just buy like, 15 S1000RR's for the same price and rent a track for me and some buddies.  [moto]

[cyrus buelton]

I am I invited? 

[Popeye the Sailor]

I am I invited? 

Sure.

[cyrus buelton]

Sure.

Only 14 would remain because odds are I'd bin the bike.

I really only ride to and from Starbucks on my bike.

Instant wood!

Ducati Desmosedici vs. 1098R


You can fast forward to 4:00 for the sum up.  Seems not much difference in performance.
