Last time i went To Avez....he told me that the ducati was in "Good" conditionOriginally posted by gsferrari View PostThat Ducati 916 is really butchered...I shed a tear when I saw what a bunch of gorillas had done to what was probably one of the most beautiful motorcycles ever made.
That is a TZ250...mine is a TZR...VAST difference!!
Dude...if the ONE isn't ready - just bring the R15 and experience brake failure on turn 8
Kidding...
...which according to me was quite unlikely after seeing how it was kept..
@gsferrari
there is also a Honda VTR1000 with Avez, you have any idea about the condition of that one

I think Akhil managed to score an R15 from someone who was USA bound...lucky bastid!Originally posted by Aparajith View PostAhem Ahem..... just in case u need an R15....... Hello there!!
I don't know about the guts of the bike...seeing it was enough to know that the owner and anyone involved in the "project" are all worthy of a firing squad execution. Very sad...the state of that bike.Originally posted by shaggy25 View PostLast time i went To Avez....he told me that the ducati was in "Good" condition

Nope...I've been to his shop only a couple of times and I don't know about the condition of his bikes. I have no interest in 2nd sales grey-market sportbikes.@gsferrari

I might go take a peek at the TZ...I suspect it is a REALLY early model so may not be worth more than a lakh at best.Kriss : 15.06.1981 - 11.10.2009

@GS, a question to you, does the Ducati monster 696 over heat in (Indian) traffic. I know U r in the 2 stroke mood but still I like know ur views on this..
well it doesOriginally posted by prabhubravo View Posthello Sir! Welcome back..

I would also be worried about an overheating clutch given our riding conditions. Honestly though, difficult to tell without riding one. I know that most of the other sportbikes WILL overheat and even come to a halt in our riding conditions...even in winter because there is just no air-flow at low speeds. You should consider fitting an aftermarket (muzzy?) radiator fan and perhaps a modified thermostat that will cut in earlier and stay on longer.Originally posted by prabhubravo View Post@GS, a question to you, does the Ducati monster 696 over heat in (Indian) traffic.

ANY large capacity, multi-cylinder LC bike will overheat in traffic.
[EDIT] I've just been informed that the 696 is aircooled. I think you will be fine most of the time...except in summer. Just switch it off in Traffic and don't mind the people honking behind you when the lights turn green...they didn't pay for your bike so SOD them!

Yeah, know that. Heard it from the person who was kind enough to let Akhil ride an under-powered R1!Originally posted by gsferrari View PostI think Akhil managed to score an R15 from someone who was USA bound...lucky bastid!

Actually the Ducati too had it's front fairing and battery missing, after much deliberation it got a cheap Pudupet Ducati look-alike front done to it. But the bike still runs atleastOriginally posted by gsferrari View PostThat Ducati 916 is really butchered...I shed a tear when I saw what a bunch of gorillas had done to what was probably one of the most beautiful motorcycles ever made.

The VTR is quite in the same condition as is the rest of the scramblers and two-strokes, i've seen it taken out only once. Currently there is a white R6 and probably a red VFR at his place which look in very good conditionOriginally posted by shaggy25 View PostLast time i went To Avez....he told me that the ducati was in "Good" condition

I'm too intelligent to the unintended, and too dumb for the obvious.
