I could spend close to that and wont. But you are right, to each his own! If he's happy, I'm happy for him! Desmo motors are so freakin cool, they spin so easily without valve springs. Springs gotta suck down a lot HP just doing their job. So Desmo is very smart. But, I wish they weren't 90 degree engines. They just look like they belong on top of an air compressor. Ugly IMHO.

It IS a desmo, as is every other Ducati based engine. P.S. It IS a desmo, as is every other Ducati based engine.

The bike is made in Italy, not America. Your self loathing America hatred is entirely uncalled for, especially in a discussion about motorcycles. Apparently you aren’t able to read very well.

Very cool individual indeed. That dude was extraordinarily gracious to allow someone to sit on it much less to ride it!!! Very cool individual indeed.

I would never put that kind of dough in an air cooled lump. Now maybe if it was a desmo to start with, then you would be right. If you have that kind of money, why not take an 1198R and turn it into your own Hypermoto? I guess it all has to do with what you like. I still disagree.

Imagine if you had his money. Try saying 'what if' a few times. Chances are your bike would be different from his hut he's a flat track guy... so what. If you had the dough-ray-mee, you'd all have something as unique and unobtainium as this guy... guarenteed. We're motorcyclists... that's what we do.
