Saw this over on the Ducati forum, they were getting a kick out of it.
I have never actually heard their dry clutch in person, but I found a high quality sound clip of it online just today. I think they sound cool.

lol..
Never understood the appeal of that noise.. IMO the only reason people claim they like that noise because it's something that makes Ducatis unique from other bikes........and allows them to justify their aloof attitude. If you took a newbie who had never ridden before, and played a clip of that noise, he wouldn't go "That's a cool noise, I want to buy a bike that makes that noise".........He'd go "WTF is wrong that that bike" Aprilia > Ducati Last edited by Homeslice; 03-22-2012 at 09:28 PM.. |

When Suzuki came out with their GSXR's in 85 or 86, they had a "750 Limited Edition" with a dry clutch: http://images.search.yahoo.com/image...mb=tU0PKU1pTRk. This is how it sounds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVKZwxAJUng
