It is a nice ride though. It just that I wouldnt be flaunting the parade rider when they've got a fast, talented champ on the team. Even if it is Ducati NA, the people who buy Ducati's arent buying em because of the Kenlucky Kid.

And I still think the plain white 848's are the nicest bikes ever made.

Sweet bike but like mentioned above, why make a Hayden replica? He hasn't done shit for Duc. I'd rather see a Colin Edwards replica R1.

Being competitive 1 year of your entire MotoGP career does NOT make you replica worthy.

By virtue of the original post, you would be wrong.

ya, he rode 3rd-5th all season and fell into a championship as most of the field had horriffic seasons marred with mechanical failures, over and over again. I think Rossi had 6dnf's, and was still in contention to beat him at the last race. Nicky hung on for third or fourth after rossi made a mistake and had a championship handed over to him.

One win that year? a few podiums, and a title. And has a hard time to stay int he points since. His best finish of this year, a 5th at one of his favourite home tracks.
