Helping send off Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden on their 2011 MotoGP Championship season, Ducati released its latest addition to its Monster Art program, showcasing some Rossi/Hayden GP replica paint schemes that take their cues from the duo’s Ducati Desmosedici GP11 race bikes.
The first of what is surely to be many Ducati motorcycles to have the yellow “46” on them, we’re still having some trouble getting used to the neon yellow/Rosso Corsa combo, but we’re this will be the best selling livery in Ducati Monster Art personalization package.
While for most Americans it’s still too inclement to ride our motorcycles, Palatinus Attila sees the frozen terrain as an opportunity. As our bikes remain shut away in their garages until spring time, this intrepid lad has taken out his power drill, several hundred screws, a bit of patience, and transformed his CBR600F4 from street machine to ice queen. The result is not a rolling porcupin, but instead a machine that can find a contact patch even on the slickest of ice sheets. Take those modified tires, your bike, and find a frozen lake, and you too can do wheelies for days, just like in Attila’s latest video Ice Riding 2.0. Check it out after the jump.
