How the hell did they remove 40! pounds from a super super-light bike?

The price tag must be interesting.

Mooty,

I wouldn't worry about the bank account with Ducatis compared with Porsches. I would be more concerned about the road rash compared with a mountain bikes.

Ducati has recently forgotten how to build a championship winning bike.

Mooty: Who cares about riding it? With those specs just put it in your living room on a pedestal and stare at it....
