So they are testing them with American riders now?   [laugh]
You called it just as Wes from Hell for Leather saw it.
"This latest batch of Ducati 1199 spy photos was snapped by a member of Ducati.ms on the Italian Autostrada. The biggest revelation? Well, this is the first time we've seen the 1199 ridden by an…American-sized rider. Evaluating the 195bhp superbike's ability to ride between McDonald's and WalMart as annoyingly as possible, this is also the first look at what Termignoni is cooking up for an exhaust system. "

that rider looks to be about 6'3 and 230-250lbs.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

So I'm assuming that the grill lid under the seat keeps the exhaust from cooking your balls into infertility, but could they maybe suss out a way to make it a bit less intrusive, visually?

And I'm sure this has been covered before, but from those pictures a wet clutch looks like total certainty.

Even 250 seems a bit conservative.

My comments on FB was that either that guy was huge or they finally made an SBK my size. The exhaust looks "off".

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Also looks like new Brembo front calipers to me. Different shape than the M4 that came on 848e/1098/1198/sf/d16rr
