Title: Re: Ducati in the NY Times Post by: sbrguy on January 05, 2010, 06:11:58 AM i totally agree "and the last? IS THE SOUND!"
that is so true, from the 1098r to the 696 they all have the destinctive ducati v twin sound that is better with Termis of course. my personal opinion is that the sound of the d16 is probably the best sounding motorcycle there is, but that truly is "the ferrari of motorcycles" and out of reach for all but the very very very rich. good article short and simple. |
