Desmosedici? No. Must. Resist.

Kie,
I know less than zero about sport bikes, but that has to be the most beautiful example I've ever seen. Wow.

You've heard the term dripping in carbon fiber, well that thing is dripping in magnesium AND carbon fiber. A true work of art.

Christian,

Congratulations on your find!

Brakes. I would not feel comfortable until the entire braking system is completely overhauled.

Also, as others have mentioned, rust may have accumulated on the cylinder walls and the piston rings may have become stuck in their lands.

One of the best penetrating oils ( although highly flammable) is a homemade 50/50 mixture of ATF and acetone.

We are all looking forward to more pictures.

And, BTW, this is a great place, welcome.

Absolutely. I'll PM the Boston guys with the address. It needs to be more in the afternoon and not the night, maybe 4pm on?

Alright, back to work. I hope to fire the thing up tonight!

I always operate under the old adage that there are three things a man can look at forever: Fire burning, Water flowing and Another Man working.

And all three are even better with a cold beer in hand.
