I like it. Would've gone with a different color, but I like it.

I think that's what's called "Possum Magnet Yellow".

if I read correctly, they made the frame out of aluminium and it weighs about half of the stock trellis that's about 4 lbs

you're right, and I couldn't be more wrong;

Quote:
the bike has been developed around two versions of Radical Ducati's own frame, in either aluminium or steel. The aluminium frame weighs just 4.1kg, while the steel version is 8.2kg.
so they make a steel AND aluminum frames and those weights are in KG not LBS

Cool bike for looking at but not for riding, that muffler will roast your thigh something good.

I was wondering if anyone else noticed that "feature" of the bike....don't tell me that it would not be a serious problem. The blue one at least has DEI exhaust wrap on it although that, too, would be problematic.

Was just wondering if anyone has any information on that SPARK exhaust? I'm in the process of building a project bike, and looking for an exhaust like that.
Anyone know of a megaphone style can like that?
