    Apparently out of the 981 they made all were Red except 1 black one.

    A 2-stroke V3! Brings me back to the TT assen in the 80's. What sound! :eek:
    I remember leaving the GP-weekend with the prominent hiss in my ears.

    The sound of that NS400 has to be a real head-turner. A nice collection you have there sir!

    I think the best exhaust sound I’ve ever heard must be the 250 or 350 sixes of Mike Hailwood.

    I'm kinda resurrecting this thread as I've bought myself another bike. As before, I thought it might be amusing to let you guys and gals have a guess as to what it might be. The clues are also similar to last time in that its Italian and its a Sport bike. It's not a full on race rep like the 998 Ducati, it has conventional handlebars. It's not a new model, in fact its 15 years old. Well that will do for now. I won't be picking it up for a couple of weeks when I'll post up some photos, but let the guessing begin.

    Hummn, reading this thread back to myself in its entirety, I must come over like an arrogant, rich t**t to some. I'm really not, bikes have always been my passion and I'm just lucky to own quite a few. I think there's a few on here own several bikes too so I hope you just find this thread a bit of fun and not serious.
