Sedici Flattracker....

The more D16s that get heavily modded/taken from production, the more rare the remaining ones will be. In a way, this guy is helping those collectors see a return on investment with their bikes. There's something inherently wrong about taking a bike like the D16 and doing this. It's like adding a mustache to Botticelli's Venus.

If I could afford it, I'd do that too.

And hang it in my bar room next to the 'Gabrielle d'Estrées et une de ses sÅ"urs'.

Wait... what?

Also: "Justyn Amstutz (owner of 3 Desmo's)"   . . . . . . 

I wonder what makes that guy so special? Is he some .com millionaire? He doesn't look but 35 or so in the pic.

I like how they call him their "good friend" right before they highlight that he owns 3 Desmo's....in this case, I wonder if "good friend" equates to $$$?

nothing really special about him other than him being the executive vp of sales and marketing for a national powersports auction house:  http://www.npauctions.com

maybe... or it could just be that he's a local, socal guy not much younger than roland that shares his interest in motorcycles...

I am only interested because I have never seen anyone actually assrape a beautiful bike.

fwiw, the d16rr isn't an overly attractive bike. it's appealing because of what it is, not how it looks.

^^^^ +1  It's not a cute bike.

For that matter, any bike of that status doesn't need to be cute.  It could look like my 88 BMW for all I care, but as long as it does everything a race bike needs to do, I wouldn't give a shit if it looked like I was riding around the track straddling a wildebeest. 

[Howley]

You knocking wildebeest now?

actually is a co-founder of the auction house, so sounds like he had money going in

Nope, just comparing aesthetics.  All the Sedicci has to do is go fast.  Form needs to follow function on this one and it looks like Sands is going to give it a little bit of pizzaz to go with that bad ass motor.

I'm not a fan of the project, but not because of the doner bike. 

It's a motorcycle.  Buy it to take it into the woods, shoot it up, and burn it.  None of my business how you use your own bike. 

D16s aren't irreplaceable works of human achievement.  It was a production bike.   I'm sure there's at least one in a collection behind glass or ropes somewhere anyway. 

[ducatiz]

It's not just that it's a D16 for me, it's that .. well.. put it nicely.. none of the bikes he's made are my taste at all...

You say that like it's a bad thing:


(The letters spell out a bad French pun for "She's got a hot ass")

Some sacred cows need to be slaughtered. I think this bike is in that spirit.

[Speedbag]

Except that ain't Venus.
