Or maybe a Captain America Streetfighter to usher in a new era of Easy Riders. That would be great!  ;D

There might be a Ducati on the cover of EasyRiders upcoming.  (strange but true and not OCC related)

Even if they steal the idea for boomtubes, i'm getting them from you guys... provided you ever find a 696 to fit them to.

And if i'm ever in the market for a cruiser, it's gonna be a DesmoDevil.

I don't want Harley people to even understand what it is that makes a Duc so special and pristine even totally stock..
The moment they put some ape hangers on a MH900 I will fly over and nuke em  [bang]

What a tool comment.  I'm a Harley owner besides my M900...and not many bikes look special and pristine stock.   [roll]

NICE!!

Personally, anything Ducati does to garner more than 2% of the bike market is fine by me -- that will mean more units, more people buying parts, and lower prices through increased volume. As usual though, most folks only care about that which is the most detrimental to their perceived current situation.

Given Ducati's latest trend of increasing prices year on year as their sales increased year on year I'd disagree on that premise to some extent.

How can you say that?

The 1098/848 are much less than the 999/749.
