I always wanted to like the old one, but just couldn't quite get there.

Well it's the Japanese bike futuristic, sharp edge type of look and it probably does a good job at that

Someone should be punched in the nose.

I had the original for 4 years. Awesome bike. Both looks wise and performance wise. With a decent suspension under it, it was a wolf in sheep's' clothing....

I came "this" close to buying the really nice 03 Z1K below.  It was either the Duc or the Z...price of the Z was a few hundred cheaper and had half the miles, but I had always wanted a Duc.  I like the looks of the new one.  Well, except for the mufflers...those suck.

But you would still have to get past the fugly of the thing which I couldn't do thank god and I ended up with my first Ducati.

sweeet.

we passed by a kid on one getting off the freeway one day... I was breakin' neck just as much as he was

[RC Fan]

I like it!  I nearly bought a leftover 2008 last fall.  The bike seemed light when you pulled it upright from the sidestand, which is a good feeling for those of us intimidated by heavy inline 4's.

[DesmoTull]

I actually like the new one alot.   

To each his own. 

[lwszabo]

the original rocked! Like anything the new one will grow on people, hell I even am starting to want a 696/1100 and i hated it more than anything when it came out. the initial shock is what gets people.

Dear Japan:

STOP DOING THAT TO THE EXHAUST.

The black one strikes me as yet another Brutale knockoff.  The rest are aiite, your typical insectoid Japanese styling.

Agreed.

I also noticed how much heavier looking this latest version looks.  There is a lot more visual mass.
