It always amazes me that some people don't know how to google stuff.

It should be like Mac's bike in It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Can't show pic for...reasons.

What a massive cock up

People will pay money to ride a Futa.

i mean, futa literally means two/both in japanese.

also since it's Ducati it probably named after the La Futa pass in Italy.

I guess when they were doing initial research for possible names, they forgot to turn safe search off lol.

I cannot wait for the pictures.

The memes write themself

It means "fuck" in Romanian.

It's short for something in Japanese. It, however, doesn't mean a whole lot dirty-wise when shortened. It's more a western-used thing than a Japanese-used one.

"lid' "two" "twins" "double" and "both" seem to be the top uses

Ah, it's because it uses different characters.

That said it's still shortening the word. "Futatsu" is not the same as "futa" in the same way that "thespian" is not the same as "the."

As a futa fangirl I approve of riding the futa

The Futa is a high performance

They sure are!

futatsu is fu(ta)+tsu, meaning two things.
japanese numerical is originally hi fu mi, and ichi ni san is adapted from the chinese.

We also introduce the Futa LE, only 50 numbered, limited models, crafted for the most serious riders.

oh, to be in the top percentile of serious futa riders

... I know. It still doesn't change that the existence of a word inside another word doesn't magically mean that the two are equivalents.

The bicycle of cultured individuals.

but we were talking about Futanari, aren't we?
basically it's the same with the word bi. it means two (bipedal, biracial, etc) but people automatically assume it's bisexual when only bi is pronounced.

note: Futanari means two forms(genital). so yes this is about "the existence of a word inside another word"

It's more about the shorthand than the whole word. That's the point.

Well maybe they did but they had safe search on....

which i address in that same post? with the English equivalent of "bi"?

Using a Latin loan-word as a way to talk about slang isn't exactly an addressing of any particular issue. It'd be like me pointing out that the "nari" means "gentle child" and that it's far more abstracted as to the meaning.

Oh my god.

how many people buying performance bikes will know what futa is? seems like mostly an online thing and i doubt most people that into biking will know what futa means in that context tbh

I, for one, can not wait to ride the futa hard.

Also, maybe they could make one designed around Futaba from P5, fully equipped with a Futuba Cannon...

Cant wait to get a Futa NTR

The vast majority of the world doesn't know or care what that means in weeb context

At least they didn't call it a scat.

A futa that is ready to ride long distance. I think they have target market in mind.

How long will that name last?

I dont get it

Sometimes, you know, sometimes you just gotta push through the language barrier. Other times, maybe do some research first...
