Man what a day was that.... a ride of all the monsters in a single day!!

The engineering penacle that Ducati is... makes me go double minds over the 1198 and the Yamaha R1 (2009 +).... if only Ducati would have been priced more competively

Are you sure about it? I thought if it'd be within 10k, I'd have tried it....

@Ken Da & Aryan Da: Can you people give some exact details on this (tricolour ARAI helmets).......

Base removable liner ARAI helmets cost north of Rs. 20,000 outside India. This is a special edition, Ducati one, so more expensive. And this is before the duties!

I will be there sometime this month, I will check and report.
