15 Diavels !!!!

[jerryz]

Even though they will cost $33.000 in thailand  Ducati Bangkok have 15 Diavels pre-sold already before they even received delivery of any!!!!!!  amazing as thats the equivalent of 10 years salary for a normal Thai person.  They reckon it will be the best ever seller here and all rich harley loving Thais must have one to go with their Ferrari,Murcilago ,Mercedes 500 and RoadKing.

one thai guy i know has 36 Ducatis in his collection another has 81 bikes when he last counted .

Frankly, with the huge disparity between the haves and have-nots in Thailand, I wouldn't want such an expensive vehicle.  Too ostentatious for a developing country.  Seems to me, your saying "look at me, I'm rich and your a worthless turd."

Frankly, with the huge disparity between the haves and have-nots in America, I wouldn't want such an expensive vehicle.  Too ostentatious for a third-world country.  Seems to me, your saying "look at me, I'm rich and your a worthless turd."

Thats obscene

A bunch of guys who ride Ducatis are sitting around hating on frivolous spending in other countries.

Makes sense.

Sounds like a riot is called for.  Maybe kill off some of those evil rich bastards, drive them out of the country or at least tax 99% of their income.  For sure then everyone will be able to ride around on a Diavel too.

In thailand only the poor 70% or lower middle class 20% pays taxes the rich dont have too .They are supposed to but pay bribes to avoid the issue
