I know this isn't a turbo but...

This a 2009 Ducati Desmosedici superbike. 200+ HP with the Marboro livery. It's one of my favorite bikes at the shop. As you can tell by the look on my face.

I have riden it around the parking lot but that's it.. It's waaaayy out of my league!

If any of you are in the area please come by and see me sometime..We have lots of amazing toys...

that bike could really use a better paint scheme......anyone else agree?
I mean, a bike so super with a paint job like that does not equate........

It's a tribute to the Malboro Livery that made that bike famous. Marlboro had to use their "bar code" design becuase of the ban on tobacco advertising..
