@Streetwise Hercules I like the XDiavel a lot too, though I'd be fitting the mid-controls accessory.
But I really like the DraXster concept that I posted a few pages back. And I've got a suspicion that Ducati are going to bring out something like that, so I'm inclined to hold off.

I'd like to try the XDiavel in each of its (3?) seating options. At 6'3 I feel I could do with something that offers me more comfort than rearsets and long limbs.
The Draxster looks bonkers, but I think the price tag will make my eyes water. In truth, I'm trying not to look too closely at it in case 'the want' sets in.

It's that time of year. Nearly warm enough to ride so I have MC on the mind. Just pulled the trigger on an exhaust upgrade.
The full Termi system is beyond rediculously priced. I found a Leo Vince mid pipe and Termi slip on for less than half the price. Pics to come.
Here is the setup:

Radiobomb - I like that so much I'm going to grab a beer and have a nosey on eBay.

Vincent Rapide in Chinese Red.
This one was sold by the Indian Motorcycle Company in 1950, hence the atypical paint. Most Vincents were black. It's up for grabs at Anthony Godin at £69,995.

Out bike shopping today.
The new Ducati Panigale 959 has reached Australia, and it's looking rather tasty in white with the red wheels. Reviews have been very good, but I'm more interested in other bikes in their range.
Victory announced the Octane last week, after one of those interminable teaser campaigns. I was very surprised to see one on display in the local dealer so soon. It's not a bad looking bike, though not my thing, and I think the Scout has better styling.
I got a chance to sit on the Triumph Street Twin. This one's been fitted with various accessories, and is being used as a press bike. It felt reasonably spacious, but I'd have preferred a taller seat. It feels a lot lighter than the old bike, but has lost a lot of the vintage vibe. If you like the old school feel then get one of the outgoing range. I'm really looking forward to them publishing details on the Thruxton R.

@harley dave that really needs to be spoken in an Austrian accent.
