    Is that the Michelin man riding it? Must be for tire testing under full load...

    lol! yeah, the dude riding it is kinda big. Maybe they are testing the bike for the "fat American" market?

    Kinda surprised ducati corse makes leathers in that size. Cool job for a "bigger" guy, being a ducati test rider I mean. Maybe he is their test eater too? Someone has to make sure the cantalope is listeria free.

    Maybe they're testing a new crash suit, and it's just pre-inflated instead of reacting to an impact....

    So, other than the huge test rider...the bike looks sick. What I can see of it anyway. Ducati are claiming 385lbs wet and 195 crankshaft HP. So, I think that translates to about 165rwhp....if the wet weight isn't exaggerated too much...that is gonna be a hell of a quick bike. Especially in race trim just minus the lights/signals/extra wiring etc.
