Those would be classics.

They weren't when they were first introduced.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Prety much it aint a Ducati no more...

Hell, I've talked to some peeps (Ducatisti so they say) that know NOTHING of the brand aside from their current- which seems to be New- model..... Who's Fogarty?

Whats a Bayliss?

Hailwood,Polen,Kocinski, Chile (Kee-Lee)... I could go on- all foreign names






You forgot Hodgson dood..........and I'm willing to sell my 2014 796 abs for ummmm $15K.   Grin

Umm, no actually. It's just Monstrous. Ultimate illustration of the original point. And i suspect someone at Ducati does get that.  Cool

Air Cooling is done. I like a clean minimal bike as much as anyone else but I really have no problem with the left side. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I see a beautiful bike that delivers on power, handling, comfort and all the latest technology has to offer. I want one.

totally agree with you . . . but, I must wait until we get our hands in a few of those . . . not sure when we'll be getting them . . . one thing is for sure, one will be a demo bike, surely a Dark model . . .

But I do feel the left side looks "busy"

Pfft.
There's folks here that ride KTMs.
Those are ugly on both sides, as well as front and back.
