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.

They do sound cool... have always loved the ducati clutch rattle...

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

That is kinda true... but being different is one of the things that make lots of bikers...

One of the coolest things I've heard is standing at the exit of Ducati World at Turn 1 for the Indy Gp and hearing all those bikes leave one by one after the race was over.

Not for me... I like mechanical noise... It intrigues me... It's a symphony of explosions, friction, and shit in the midst of controlled destruction... It's fucking awesome in all forms...
