Limited Edition Nicky Hayden Ducati 848

Ducati has released a limited edition Nicky Hayden 848 superbike this weekend at the US GP at Laguna Seca. Hayden follows in the footsteps of Fogarty, Bostrom, and Bayliss with honory limited edition bikes, and was on hand to sign the tank of the first production bike.
The limited edition bike has 134hp, 71 lb•ft of torque, and tips the scales at 370lbs. You can pick one up at your local Ducati dealership for only $14,495, and like the other 2010 848 superbikes, the bike will have the new*LED lighting for the instrumentation, lighter aluminum tensioner pulley, and lighter crankshaft.
Unfortunately for our abroad readers, the Hayden edition will only be available in the United States. No word yet on the Stoner 1198 replica.

I don't have to say much anymore, his stunning performance this season speaks for itself. Maybe when Ducati is finished with him, he can get a full factory ride with Yamaha and he can show us how slowly they can go too  We know how badly a factory Honda can perform, we know how badly a factory Ducati can perform, we need to see how badly the factory Yamaha can perform too

Smart marketing move? If they did put them in other markets they would be real limited editions. None, sold, none on the road. |

Yeah... USA is a HUGE market that they want to take advantage of.
Think about that... A couple years ago, no MotoGP race in US. How many now?
How many Americans would buy a Whiner replica?
Also, compare the sizes of the American and Australian market.
Stoner gets the championships, Hayden capitalizes it... If that's what he can only do, why not? |

Cos you can't accurately convey the symbolism in plastic, carbon and paint of a whinging girly cry-baby sook.

Nah, I wont be getting one, but if I did, it would be my track bike. That way when everyone whips my ass out there, I wont look out of place. I'd have the equipment, and I'd look the part, I just wont be very quick or kicking butt. 
(And if it was a Stoner rep, I could have a little cry after each session to boot). |
