Is the yellow one a 748 SP, had one for a day I preferred it to the 916

Have to laugh at the two 748s and the "spare parts bike" in the background.

Sorry. I shouldn't have laughed. After all I own two KTMs

@xtightg yep. The advantage the 748 had was the internal gearing, shorter to keep it on the boil, better in the real world twisties, the best was 916 pistons in the 748, really works well. The 996 Matrix was the bike I should have kept, only one in NZ, oddly, not built as a special edition by Ducati Italia, but by Ducati Japan (as soon as the Matrix movies came out), you see it in the Matrix in a long and spectacular bike chase.

Went to pick up crutches and knee scooter from local mobility store for my 3rd surgery in a year on my damn foot,and I came across this little run about.
I had joked with family in friends about buying a bike and joining a gang with my buy back money ... might get my foot in the door as a prospect for Grey Power

Very nice.
I have mostly owned Japanese 4s (and still love them) but the RC8 just had that 'x" factor. I just like seeing it in the garage.
