Ducati 1098 Kill Me Fast Only 10 Units in the World

Ducati 1098 "Kill Me Fast" Only 10 Units in the World, Ducati made a sensation by cooperating with the Danish conceptual artist, Kristian von Hornsleth, to change the look of the Ducati 1098 and 1198 a sporty become art objects of high value. The amount is counted fingers, only 10 units in the world.

Scars painting a rich contemporary style of Hornsleth colors covering the entire body. Meanwhile, on both sides of the Ducati 1098 and 1198 contained the words "Kill Me Fast" inspired after communicating with one of the marketing staff Ducati. One question is, how dangerous riding a sport bike is second on the road?

"You will not feel a thing if it hit a wall in the speed of 320 km per hour." From there comes the third syllable. In addition, the meaning of the words were also imaged motorcycle to accelerate from 0-100 km per hour in just three seconds.

Hornsleth admitted personally fascinated by the relationship between Italian design and high technology machines in both the motorcycle sport. "This is a blend of beauty, speed, and death," said Hornsleth about his work. The graphics are created, he added, describing the interaction, the effort to find out at once challenged the logic of the existing design on the Ducati.

Ducati did not say how much the selling price of this bike. But, from the existing 10 units, some of which are sold through the online trading site eBay and was offered at a price of 70,000 euros or the equivalent of USD 856.7 million per unit. Indeed, if you think about using common sense, no sense, a motorcycle that just crossed her by coloring a higher price than the standard version.

Out with the New In with the New Husaberg Time

The Berg

The motor is rotated 180 degrees from top to bottom,
and inclined forward at 70 degrees from vertical

I have been leaning towards the dirt lately. As such, I went ahead and put down a deposit on this badass 2011 Husaberg FE 570S. An uncompromising 100% street legal enduro, and an innovative engineering feat with its laid down 70 degree motor, this bike is a lightweight beast that will rip your face off.

Ill be running the 18"/21" DOT knobbies for the next several months. However, it will likely be doing double duty as a trail murderer and a nice little supermoto in the future when I can spring for 17" wheels, a cush drive hub, 320 mm brake rotor, and maybe some suspender adjustments.

Picking it up next Saturday, March 17th. I suspect it should be a lot of fun...
