You state your case very well Jools, and I agree with you wholeheartedly. Ducati has appealed to those of us who get a buzz from riding Desmo. V twins. Ducati are a small company who have done amazingly well in world markets but there is no way they can be expected to outshine the mighty big H. No one can argue against the facts that Fireblades and VFR's are great bikes. Their popularity is astonishing and well deserved. The Gixer the R1 and ZX10R are all superb in their own way but none gives to me the buzz I get when I really open the throttle on a Ducati V twin. Surely it's this very reason why the contributors to this message board ride Ducatis in the first place. Otherwise we should all be riding Jap fours, or BMW boxers. |
