Exactly my point!

Why does something so fun and easy to ride have to look like total shit?

ciao jim -

like we were discussing @ the danville concorso ... pierre's designs do not "play it safe" like some other motorcycle designers play.  terblanche's designs are very polarizing ... you either like em or hate em ... they push the limits of acceptability from the intended audience for the most part.  and let's not forget, pierre designed the supermono ... probably the best looking ducati ever.

btw, you gonna make it up to LDD this sunday?

I think some hated the 999 because it wasn't a homage to the 916. 

I think the haters should be very happy now.

Doubt I"ll make it up.  In-laws in town for Mrs. ECV and ECV Jr.'s birthdays.  I promise I'll poke you in the eye if I see you.

it looks like function took over form.
at first glance it could have been beautiful, but apparently they wanted longer intakes maybe for tuning?
either way even the front fender is not very attractive.

I'm going to hold off judgment until I see it in the flesh.

By my expectations are not high at this point.

Seriously, how hard can it be to design an iconic, classic and gorgeous motorcycle?

Pretty much. That beak/anteater snout is too distracting. We might crash. Into you. Aiming for the beak...

Maybe I can just sweep the rides? Any downed riders can catch a ride home on the beak. It'll be like when Gandalf had that huge bird give him a ride from the top of the Issengard tower.

That fact that you just posted something about Lord of the Harry Potter Rings (*or whatever it's called) disqualifies you from riding a motorcycle in public Grin

But seriously...maybe you could get one and turn it into an animal-themed bike. Maybe even a unicorn.
