1199 Photo leak!

Well I'm make the beast with two backsing excited. Like the kind of excited that comes when finding out either she's not pregnant or you aren't the dad

so damned if you do and damned if you don't?

or damned if you did and damned if you didn't... lol

[junior varsity]

no - two scenarios - you-did-and-she-isn't (yay!) or - whether-or-not-you-did, she-is-and-it-isn't-yours (yay!)

and this is the "yay!" of freedom and/or relief

and this is the "yay!" of freedom and/or relief of continuing to be an irresponsible douchebag

Fixed it for you.

[junior varsity]

you must've never had a raincoat break, and the 2nd scenario is something i have been made aware of by such reputable journalists as Montel Williams and Maury Povich

Apparently ducati isn't sure about the new bike
they arent taking it into wsbk the first year

Source? No 1199 period, or no "factory" team.

[junior varsity]

Source?

+1  (would like to see it at least in privateer teams for wsbk and as a replacement for AMA since its painful to watch the 1198 sit midpack every race... guess that sounds a whole lot like watching a MotoGP race right now)

That's ghey

[Raux]

That's ghey

well after getting their asses handed to them with this type frameless bike in motogp, maybe they want to see if this bike has a fighting chance.

[duccarlos]

When you have Troy Bayliss testing it and he loves it, you might have something there. make the beast with two backs MotoGP.

The frameless design worked really well for several years including winning a world championship. Just because it's not working right now, doesn't mean that it's a flawed concept.

The sound of the motor revving at the end of the video gave me chills down my spine...

and a tingle south of the border

That might be a bit of a stretch.  They just happened to have a rider that was bat-shit fast and would push the bike to the edge (and beyond) regardless of the bike's lack of front end feel.  I'd actually be willing to wager that championship was more about Stoner than it was about the bike.

Are you sure it was frameless in 2007 when Stoner won?
