Another cool indo Bike

Pretty sweet. I know there is a body kit being made that lets the 250 look like an 848 as well.

I've been interested in the Ducati ducktail specifically because I love the 848 look. I know you couldn't get me the tail, but I'd be first in line if you could get me one of those in Duc-red w/ a Duc-red tank cover.

Ill be working on a ductail soon if Matt doesn't mind.

Oooh very interesting! I'm a big fan of the 848 looks, especially that tail. I'll definitely be watching this space

The bike there looks sweet, but it would look even better with a nice set of clip-ons

Cool bike! It is a bit Transformers-ish for me, but I like the motive!

I agree on the clipons! Street fighters (naked bikes, standards, potayto, potahto) always look tough with them. Like this Gladius:

One of these days Im gonna remove the windscreen on my bike just to get an idea how it would feel to be naked (teehee).

Some CBR 1000 tails have cool Ducati-like "vent thingies" on the tail too. Perhaps it could take a styling hint from the CBR1K? I like the brake light area better. Heck, I like Hotbodies' tweak of the tail light when you use their non-smoke undertails (adds a notch to match the headlight) and I've seen ZX bikes with a similar look. I'd love to see a Ducati or CBR1K-style tail with that!

oh my that is a nice Gladius!

and someone did something about that horrendous headlight!! All they need now are some rearsets, or perhaps colour the footrest bracket all black. Where is it from? I'm intrigued

Those tails look really good once you get them on, but it took me a couple days to get it sitting properly...well worth it in the end though

Oh - those are vents? I couldn't figure it out. I thought it was something for a passenger to hold onto?????

I'm not sure if I dig the tail....but the rest of the bike looks pretty styling.

More like "scoops." They seem more for style than anything else. I see people talking about the aerodynamic principles of Ducati's little "winglets" they put on the front end of their racing bikes, but I never see anyone discussing what the scoops are for.

The gladius needs to be taken out back and shot. The bike it repleaced is much better IMO.

Very cool looking.
