The 916-996 generation for sure!

A beautiful design that looks wonderful today.

It was much better recieved by the public, while Tamburini's push towards his tweaked Bimota-styling for the 999 did not go over well, although the 999 was a fantastic chassis design. However Gen-1 (of the new-era, liquid-cooled, Ducati Superbikes isnt the 916-series. It was around '86-'87 with the 851-series (and later 888) which was subsequently raced in the first World Superbike Championship season, 1988 with ex-GP rider Marco Lucchinelli riding the factory bike. Other contenders that year included the Honda RC30, Suzuki GSXR750 ("short stroke" engine design), Yamaha's FZR750RR (and later OW01), as well as Bimota's YB4... and Kawi's ZXR750 arrived in 1989...

(BTW - BMW has tubeless wire spoke wheels, they are not as stylish though as old-school spoke jobbies... and there are a couple tubeless solutions now for dirt-bikes, mousse and high-pressure seeling/beeding/bladder designs, because yes, tubes suck)

now..... how about, choose between

a) Sushi

or

b) Roast Beef -- that's Roast Beast for all you Grinch fans :D

For Sale: Ninja 600 with parts bike, needs minor work, $30, no title... (GEE THAT DOESNT RING ANY WARNING BELLS DOES IT?)

high speed concrete ribbon ... windshield is a must, but ...

for the truly wind blowing, smell enticing, full body motorcycle experience, it's gotta be naked@

1) brunette...
or
2) redhead? :D
still recovering - back to crutches, then walking with a stick, then running - then hopefully riding again!

Definitely Coke. Pepsi is too sweet. When I was a kid, I preferred Pepsi for its sweetness and thought coke was too harsh. :laughing:
I like energy drinks now, like Monster Energy and Red Bull. :kicking:

For me Arai, Shoei's always seemed to be over priced and rather ill fitting.

Inline 4 or V-4?
Always ask why.
