It's the hottest looking most badazz bike on the planet...OR it's an ugly piece of crap that I wouldn't be seen on. It's fast as all get out...OR you don't ride it...you just park it and then go hang out.

Humm...I must be on the internet !!

Well I did type that like Jim Carey in Ace Ventura when he says "Let me ask you a few questions."

Why do you care so much what we think of this ugly ass bike?

I don't, I just like to argue. I think it's silly to blast a bike that has so much potential... especially since nobody's ridden one yet, well besides Ducati test riders.

I like all sorts of different bikes and while I think this one misses in a the styling department, I think it's a very cool concept and could see it as being a phenomenal street machine. Personally, I love where Duc (and BMW) has been heading for the past few years... They are (both) reinventing the motorcycle and setting the bar pretty high for other mfg's...

Hypermotard, IMHO reinvented the way people look at standard motorcycles... and in a much lesser vein, Desmosedici... MotoGP for the street... fuck yes.

And the planned successor for the 1198... monocoque frame, less weight, more HP than anything out there (or so I've heard)... MotoGP for the masses!

Touche, I was waiting to light you up if you said streetfighter I can see your point on those, though wouldn't the desmo be considered a follow on to honda's NR750? And I have strong doubts they can make higher numbers than the new i4s with that short stroke v2. Not normally asprirated anyway. Still, can't wait to see it
