I am struggling to get that image out of my head…

Many moons ago I nearly bought one of these:

But thought I would kill myself so bought a new car instead…

Test rode a beemer 1000rr earlier, nice but I’ll keep my zx10.

The Monster came along a few years later, - it was the 851 which really saved their bacon.

I had one like this - an 851 SP2

A friend of mine has just taken delivery of what is apparently a ‘Ducati Diavel Dark Stealth’ with ‘urban wheels and pack’.

Now I’m as disinterested in motorbicycles as the next sane person but, I must admit, even I got a bit of a semi on when looking it over… :astonished:

:heart_eyes: How nice does that look. Summer here we come :smile:

Was in Dusseldorf last week and visited the Remise car showroom.

They had 10x AJS bikes for sale as a collection with one per year from 1953-1962 for the grand sum of 450,000 euros.
