[DesmoDog]

Nice...

The more I see those, the more I think I may need to buy one someday...

[apessino]

That is, indeed, a beautiful bike... I would not buy it, but I can definitely appreciate it.

And, once again, thanks for posting. You are exceptionally good at taking motorcycle pictures. Wonderful details, great framing... :)

[DrGonzo]

boner-inducing for sure :biggrin

[infg35]

The Senna is my colors. Why oh WHY cant ducati do a bike with those colors? EXCEPT the seat, its FUGLY!:biggrin

[sosl0w]

Hey Hellcat, what kinda camera are those taken with?

[RRnold]

Are you kidding me!?! Alcantara seats breathes luxury!

[RRnold]

The Senna F4's are so nice.

Speaking of Aryton Senna, after the death of Ratzenberger (Sat)and Senna (Sun) at the San Marino GP back in 1994, this changed the entire F1 organization forever. Safety has changed so much since then including the use of the HANS device and the collapsible steering wheel that there hasn't been a fatality since.

Check out this very touching video of F1 racers from the past that have lost their lives. *NOT TOO GRAPHIC BUT VIEW AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION* :(

Hey Hellcat, what kinda camera are those taken with?

Canon EOS 1Ds Mark II and an EF 24-70mm f/2.8L lense.

[bong]

Thanks for posting, and I hope I don't banned for thinking about painting my 1098S to look like this Senna - except with red powercoated wheels to match the frame.:o

[Mongo]

Good God great shots! I sat on one of the F4's on Firday at the show, and I continue to not fit them (6'4").

However, if I had to get an I4, I'd make it work.

Also great shots of the hugger - I'm particularely interested in finding one to adapt to the 1098 considering the worthless one I saw in the Ducati booth.

Finally, would it have be so damn hard to just use the F4 SSS instead of the one they built for the 1098? This one looks so much better.

[kingtut73]

id rather have the OG senna anyday over that one

[rramseyr]

Hellcat,

What show was this were they had the 1000R that set the land speed record for production based 1000cc bikes at Bonneville???

Great pictures as well!

[rramseyr]

This is the 2002 750cc version. Some like it better. The red frame really goes well with the red star rims.

Since Ferracci is "local" to the DC area, they brought their 1000R production land speed recorder holder down for us to look at. I spoke with them about the bike and they said it went from bone stock out of the crate to setting the record. Only two mods were made. One was to weld steel plates above the chain to protect the left foot in the event of a chain failure and the other was to lower the forks in the triple clamps. No engine or frame mods, hence the PP (Production frame - Production engine) record class.

yeah thats the ticket.:biggrin

[skydiver_33460]

I'm sorry, the Senna is not nearly as sexy and pretty as the 1098. I wouldn't go near that ugly seat thing if it was 10 grand.

[sosl0w]

Damn Hellcat, You could sell that camera and buy an R6 lol. I figured it had to be pretty expensive. Those pics are very nice and crystal clear. Thanks

[MV-999R]

Awesome bike, no doubt.
But i like the looks of the black F1000R better and it's a lot cheaper :phil

[spalding12]

why do you think i own the Brutale 910R
MV makes BEAUTIFUL BIKES....
and no one would dream of banning you for this excellent photography... of an amazing bike
for the record, i'm fairly sure that everyone here also loves MVs..
as the folks at the MV site LOVE ducs

[spalding12]

i surely hope you are kidding...
otherwise, you are in need of some therapy :)

man
i wish i had NOT watched that
i know you warned me
brought tears to my eyes
very very sad

[Rajin Cajun]

I am absolutely speechless. I have never seen those clips before and it is amazingly humbling experience! Makes you stop and think what we take for granted everyday.

[Manuel_F4]

it´s definite... by far sexiest bike on earth... the F4 :wflag

[bong]

Watching this tribute brought back memories of watching that San Marino live on tv at 0400 in the morning. Senna was (and is) my favourite gp racer and this is why I am wanting to paint my 1098S in his color scheme. Very sad to watch...

I just wish the MV was a twin. Ive owned several inlines in the past and just prefer the twin configuration (personal preference). But My God this is one BEAUTIFUL bike :drool

Sorry Greg, I too was moved by this video. :( I just had to bring it up so those who are not aware who Aryton Senna is.

Some people look at the Senna F4's and only think about black/gray bodywork with a red frame without even knowing who is and how much his death impacted F1!

This device probably would of saved many if introduced earlier: HANS device-Head And Neck Support

i used to watch EVERY F1 race live....
getting up very early to do so
i WAS watching LIVE, the day that Ayrton Senna left this world. of course, none of were told about his death until hours later, as the race went on after his accident.... as he would have wanted, undoubtedly

i'm still glad you posted that link

[MV-999R]

MV Agusta + Ducati = All you'll ever need.:beer

:1 But i would just had a nice 600 jap as a track beater :biggrin

How do you post these huge, high resolution photographs? I keep getting a message when I try to up load them from my hard drive that they exceed the size limit and are limited to 500 pixels or something?

his aren't loaded on the forum's server
you need to upload your images to some other site
like www.smugmug.com (http://www.smugmug.com)

that's where my pictures are stored
then you can LINK them here

while this forum can HOST your images
we can't take up server space and bandwidth with FULL-SIZE pictures

smugmug is cheap
and it allows you to upload photos immediately that your family can see of events that took place that day

don't rely on the forum's server to hold your images

check out www.smugmug.com (http://www.smugmug.com) today

...
i have nothing to do with them, of course
but, THAT'S how he can "LINK" and NOT "UPLOAD" full-resolution images here

That's because he didn't uploaded them to here, but to another site and then he just linked them.

go to www.photobucket.com (http://www.photobucket.com) create your account upload your pics to there and then you just have to link them to where you want to post :beer

[spalding12]

ah, photobucket is great as well, of course

you are very welcome

[boavidaracing]

A Huge Senna Fan... It was that bike or a TC. The TC won this round.

Unfortunately Senna would not have been saved by the HANS.
However the HANS has saved may drivers, and I think one the of the best all around (for all types of cars) safety developements for autosports in the last 20 years.

[Beyote]

Stunning in every detail.

I love that sachs rear shock adj, and the fine detail in the rims.

Thanks for all those beautiful clear pictures of a very beautiful bike and tribute to Ayrton Senna.

I am with MV-999R in that I would prefer the black F41000R due to the paint scheme and price, but nonetheless both are very beautiful.

Just watched the video. Realy sad to see the guy struggling to save his freind from the burning wreck and throwing his arms up in the air in desperation when he realised there was nothing he could do. Very moving.

[hammer]

That is a beautiful bike. I understand the passion behind the Itaian bikes with thier strong racing herritage. A very sad video indeed but it needed to be seen.

[jamesmccain]

whats the senna edition differ from the F4 1000?

[hellcat]

whats the senna edition differ from the F4 1000?

The biggest difference is that the Senna is quite limited in that only 300 were made. There were only 92 imported into US. So if they were evenly distributed, there would be less than two bikes per state! Its hard to imagine only a couple in the State of Virginia. The exclusivity makes the bike more expensive.

The Senna has some carbon not on the base model - front & rear fenders and some other areas. It also has the very nice (IMO) Marchesini wheels. It was the wheels that got my attention originally when I saw the bike at the DC show. It also has a Sachs shock. In addition to this stuff are finishing differences. And lastly, a percent of the profits that the dealers make on the bike is sent to the Senna foundation in Brazil to help under privileged children.
