I think it would definitely be interesting to throw in a non current bikes like that into the cool wall mix on occasion.

I'm up for it, feel free to suggest any of them from the guides. I think I featured a few 2000 and 2003's this year... (off the top of my head). Lots of great non-currents out there still on the roads.

How about the 2003 Ducati 999, with its unpopular and controversial Terblanche styling which deviated so much from the beloved 916-998 styling, it almost killed Ducati?

You got it! Although I don't really have a photo of it till 2005 version (same version) as I didn't get my Ducati media license in place still 2003 and for whatever reason, I don't have many 2004 Ducati photos... lol. So 2005 it will have to be.

Hey Mike, how about starting off the year with the Bimota BB3? Heard about the turnaround at the company and like the looks of it.

Happy New Year!

Check out the new 2015 MV Agusta Turismo Veloce Lusso 800. Is this Agusta's first attempt to move into the touring / adventure market?

Safe Travels,
Richard

Sounds nice, I'll have to take a look into the BB3... but I'm not sure what is happening with Bimota. They have really pulled out of North America and are available only in Italy now. And their Italian website still says: "A new website is coming soon" for over a year now.

I was just going to do a MV Agusta this week too (2015 MV Agusta F3 800 AGO) but as you are suggesting the 2015 MV Agusta Turismo Veloce Lusso 800 let's put that one up.

Just note that it's a European model only though, not available in North America.

You probably know this isn't really the style of bike I'm interested in, but I saw it at the bike show and was quite impressed...

How about the Ducati Scrambler
