Anyone else find the Ducati "Twist the throttle" disappointing?

I watched the Ducati episode on TV with the Wife.  Although I already knew most of the content and the history, it was eye opening for the Wife.  She now has a greater appreciation for my bike and my enthusiam.  I think these Twist the Throttle shows are geared toward casual and motorcycle outsiders.  I like watching them for what they are.

My 2 cents: The Monster is the biggest seller- do/show more on that. Granted the 1098 had just come out when the show was created, it would be cool if they made an updated one with the streetfighter, 1198, MTS.

while you are entitled to your 2 cents i will disagree and say that they shouldn't. The monster is an established brand and is what pays for the purty superbikes. showcase your prettiest girls even if everyone can't have one because when the customer walks in the door there will be a model for them they can get.

I don't think people are selling themselves short by getting a monster, there's reasons other then price to drive people to get a monster. I knew I wanted a naked bike(the prettiest girl) so I got a monster, price not being the issue.

I was never even considering a superbike, Too much power for the road. Those bikes were designed for the track and riding on the street is not a very fun experience. The first bike I rode was a zx6r and it sucked on the street. Uncomfortable and a pain in the ass in any type of minor traffic. I got a monster because it's the perfect daily rider street machine, and on weekends you can run it at the tack and be competitive.

The salesman at the dealership I go to traded in his 848 for a monster because he hated riding on the street with such an aggressive bike.
