Seen today at the Federation of Italian Motorcycle show, a great idea to show off the engineering on your Ducati bevel.

I wouldn't mind a more down-to-earth (literally :ugeek: ) looking glass ... one showing whether the sump is half-full or half-empty ;)
 
You could do that on your Guzzi to. . . ;)

Well, who has oeufs on his face now? Apparently the sight glass is part of the bike's design and not a flight of fancy. This information from my local Duc contact

"The glass is there to let you see the oil that's in the bevel gear case. In the old days when everyone ran straight 50 weight oil in them, you also had to wait a little while for the oil to be warm enough to flow nicely through the engine. When you start a bike with the engine cold the window fills up. When the oil is warm enough to flow nicely it drains out of the bevel tower through the drainage holes, thereby indicating the bike is now ready to be ridden."
