Dealer Tech Slang for Ballabio, Aprillia's Dorsoduro was called a DonkeyD**k. Just easier to pronounce.

I'm shocked and dismayed also! :embarrassed: :grin:
It appears that the main difference between the Ballabio and my 04 V11S is handlebars vs. clip ons, correct? My aging frame is craving those Ballabio handlebars!

Big difference between the two, one has frame mounted bug screen & the other is mounted to top triple tree. One is stationary the other moves w/front end. I converted one to do the other & made a bracket for it. The owner didn't want clip-on's but handlebars. Not easy at all. I still have the bracket sketch in my files I think. That was in 08, I also did an Aprillia RSV to handlebars, again not easy.
