Game. Set. Match.

You mean the Ducati is not capable of performing for the technical reasons and they had to use Italy's real motorcycle company's products, right?

Plus it's got a real douchebag at the controls, so it might as well be a vespa.

What the hell does the Dorsoduro have to do with people dressing up an SXV to look like a Hypermotard?

The point is when they needed a supermoto that can perform, they had to break out the SXV and dress it up to look like a Ducati because obviously the Hypermotard couldn't cut it.

Even the case cover in the top pic still says Aprilia. What the hell? Would have been simpler to buy a Duc, no?

C'mon now, Aprilia > Fiero.
