you B*st*rd! you utter, utter, B*st*rd! you are about to take delivery of a Desmosedici?

Does it come with a free mechanic????

Yes it does - three years warranty and three years free servicing

While the thread has gone completely off track thanks to Dave (don't worry about the pics, get a clip of the sound on here!!) I think that R1 looks totally wrong.

Is it running 20" wheels or has the upper fairing had some magic head shrinking done to it? I assume it's been photo shopped - look at the gap between the mudguard & the fairing compared to the exposed stanchion length, where's the exhaust and are the brakes rusty? It's not got a pink frame though.

Sorry - seen better ones in the flesh.

Yes, sorry for the hijack.

I think the R1 looks awesome - not sure it'd be much good to ride though

Come to think of it ... the Desmosedici may be much the same

Nope - still don't get that R1.

Dimensions all wrong, exhaust missing, front wheel too bike & fairing front too small - look how wide the bar is.

This looks more realistic:



OK then, proper R1 of that shape (SP):
