why,  are you waiting for a bike???
No, man!

It's motorcycles version of the biggest auto show in the world! It's when all the new bike models get shown, many for the first time.

It's known at EICMA and is  held in Milan.

From a personal standpoint, I'm excited to see the new KTM 450 twin powerplant...they are alleged to be including a supermoto with the new engine.

I can't get the V2 out of my head. Reeeeaaaaaaaaallllly want!

I have no interest in the V4, too much bike for me, and I hate the wings springing up on all the top end bikes these days. This thing is just beautiful.

And specifically this model too. https://www.ducati.com/ww/en/bikes/panigale/panigale-v2-bayliss-1st-championship-20th-anniversary

Agreed. If you don't know who Troy Bayliss is, take a look at this. Last couple of laps of the World Superbike Championship from 2002. Troy Bayliss (#1 on the Ducati) had won the year before, and Colin Edwards (Castrol Honda) was 2nd. This is the race that decides the 2002 winner. Amazing racing!

I remember that....

Edwards had won in 2000. Then Baylis in 2001 and Edwards wanted it back for 2002!

Cool part is, I've met a bunch of these world champions...as they either raced in the US before or after their WSBK championships. And AMA was so laid back and the riders so accessible it was easy to chat them up, get autographs, etc

I've got a WSBK  Champion autograph from Ducati's Neil Hodgson I've been meaning to send you for your bike garage, Bob.

Well didn't Shell recently announce hydrocarbons are evil? If they are so evil why are they sponsoring race bikes to consume them? Talk about a schizo company. Plus the yellow clashes with the nice paintwork.  ;D

KTM, virtually every billion dollar company is evil in some way, moreso oil companies. Where's my surprised face.
