In Italian the motorcycle is a feminine noun: la moto or la motocicletta, it would probably translate Piccola Nera, or you can refer to her as Nerina.
Just brought it home, everything works ok, needs a bit of cleaning up. The fork crossover pipe is leaking, so the forks don't hold air pressure, but aside from that, I just have to ride it!
Here's mine,Sport 1100 Corsa.
Here's mine. 2008 fresh from 1st service with QD slip-on.
I find its lines beautiful and unique - and pictures don't do them justice - they look even better in person. ;-T-Drew
The 999 is well-modified and is a beast! Oddly enough, it is actually more comfortable than the older 998s or new 1198s. I've never had an issue with an aching back or cramped wrists. It doesn't like to go slow, however and is an absolute blast on the track - which I try to do a couple times a year. The Griso is comfortable and capable. It is not a slouch or a "cruiser". Definitely very sporty - although not quite a sportbike. Gorgeous to boot! Can't say I necessarily prefer one over the other as they each have their own unique character and focus. They're both beautiful machines. Although the 999 design was a bit polarizing for some, it stands out as a daring design that was one of the winningest race models in Ducati's Superbike line - and it only had a very short model life. I find its lines beautiful and unique - and pictures don't do them justice - they look even better in person. ;-T-Drew
