I'm at the other end of the spectrum - it's one of the ugliest monsters I've ever seen.

I knoew there'd be some other opinions, I used to have a Buell XB9 so I like the whole streetfighter look on a bike, have to admire the work this guys put in. Its where I want to take my S2R just need to rob a bank and get an engineering degree first !!!

I agree "unfinished" is the look and the reflector bolted on to the hugger, nice touch. NOT.
Then again one man's poison and so on..................

Nope, I can see why some might like it, but not my cup of tea at all....

I wonder what Mr. Tamburini would think

I wonder if it wrankles him that for all his iconic design work some young upstarts parts bin special was the bike that saved Ducati and still sells well today

You'd have to think so. Maybe he also a Zen master and has only flowing thoughts about these things....

a fine example of a cheque book/catalogue custom

normally the monster of the month is worth looking at for the ideas and engineering that have gone into it

with that one you can see where Rizoma/Road racing have got gaps in the range and he's had to improvise

or he's bought one of everything from every catalogue and decided to use it all

not floating my boat

he actually did a lot of the work himself, a lot of the carbon he had to improvise himself

Don't like it at all

The s2R1000 represents the pinnacle of aircooled monster chic, and this guy has turned one of the prettiest bikes around into an expensive eyesore. Anyone that thinks it's an improvement on what rolled out of the factory needs help.
