Didn’t know there was a belt version, she’s a chain driven model. I’ll look for a conversion though
the HD belt drive was silent- lovely

As it has a chain I'd guess 2016 or earlier.

Here's today's treat... Hub centre steering Bimota Tesi 3D - tubular frame, Ducati engine...
Unfortunately a lot of reviews seem to suggest you don't get the same feeling and feedback on these compared to we'll set up forks which makes sense as you aren't directly controlling the wheel... And whilst there are some advantages on balance maybe not ideal setup... Would still love a ride on one though

One of the originals for sale too... I drove a 2 hour round trip just to look at one of these once... Ahhh to be young with free time and no responsibilities!...

Very niche ! At 25 large, I think Ducati can take my money for a new V4 instead.

See the later one I really like the look of - looks like it has been made by an engineer... It's not beautiful, but nice looking in a different way... But the price makes it somewhat out of my league! Lol
