Those things are super-fast in the straights and the twisties, be careful! haha

How does the Ducati yellow compare to the Ferrari yellow?

Thanks guys... Ok update pictures. The carbon fiber Ducati decals I order had came today, so I took off the old one and put up the new, check it out

These carbon-fiber graphix matches the CF Termignoni Exhaust, Heat Shield & Clutch Cover:









Next stop, the Xenons & Ohlins Steering Damper (still waiting for the shipment). Stay tuned
