A competitor from arilia would really be interesting. Like youve said they already have a very good engine lineup that they can transplant to a sport cruiser. Add to that the electronics that they have on their other bikes. It could be expected in the next year or two. A competitor from MV however might take a long time before it sees the light of day.

yeah, my thoughts exactly... the mv agusta bike is more of a pipe dream, but i refuse to believe that if they made one it wouldnt be anything less than stunning.  that and the mirrors would probably fall out of their housings within the first 10 miles, but damn they would look good doing it.  haha

The bike doesnt look so bad from this angle...now they just need to touch up the remaining 359 degrees and we'll be good...

it's starting to grow on me a bit and I bet it will be fun but I can't get over the $3k you need to spend to clean up that awful exhaust and the plastic shrouds around the tank and air box.  If they would have refined these three things I'd say they have an instant hit but dam, at $20k I expected more - maybe I'm just dreaming.

I agree I really wish Ducati would just have every bike come stock with Termis.....I know they make a ton on the aftermarket but damn it would be nice.  Especially considering the MSRP of an actual stock exhaust the price can't be that much different.

anybody noticed that the shock is actually below the swingarm?  I've never seen shocks in this configuration.  Comments or insights?
