Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

But for that price, you could buy two 'Sidicis and a bunch of spares.

Yeah. but would the Desmos have

"In its simple perfection this Ducati represents a unique combination of noblesse, elegance and lightness which establishes a felicitous symbiosis of technical high performance and timeless beauty as well."

I am ALL about extraneous wordiness in writing, but this guy could have cut that whole description down by about half if he really wanted to.  He also seems to be a bit redundant on some of the specs.  Be that as it may, however, I was thinking the OP must have been mistaken when he wrote the subject line.  I was wrong.  Gotta love monocoque carbon goodies. 

Oh, and Jameslist?  Has he spoken to Craig about this?

and you'd have two heavier bikes with a lower power ratio

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Carbon frames are a bit controversial, they don't have the same "feel" as steel tub ung and it's hard to measure deflection, vibration, etc. The weight is nice, but withing the relm of a steel trellis. Of coure, if you cash one pretty good, well,.......................
