Ducati introduced a new model at an event in Monterey Thursday night -- the 2010 Ducati 848 Nick Hayden edition. It's the first 2010 model from Ducati and will be available in showrooms on Tuesday.

The machine has special graphics. Hayden will run a similar paint scheme on his race bike this weekend.

There are only 150 machines made and Hayden signed each tank by hand.
The MSRP for the 134 horsepower bike is $14,495.

2010 DUCATI 848 Nicky Hayden Edition

Ducati North America is proud to announce the 848 Nicky Hayden Edition. This striking livery places a distinctly American stamp on the market's best middleweight sport bike. We are excited to unveil this model in conjunction with the Red Bull United States Grand Prix at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, as there is no better time to celebrate the American World Champion than at his home race on the 4th of July. This US-exclusive model features an American inspired paint scheme, aptly fit for its introduction on the 4th of July, personally autographed gas tank, and model updates for the 2010 year. MSRP is $14,495, and will be available July 7 at authorized Ducati dealers.

So it actually is real...
Real ugly.
wow...

I like it

It just seems to be missing something... Let me think...
OK!
I think it needs a couple more stars on it.

I like it, actually. I don't think I'd ever be able to ride it much, being such a rare (and signed) edition, though.

I wonder how long it took him to sign 150 gas tanks.

is it me or does nicky look like kd lang?!?!



oh and that shit is fucking ugly.
