Why you should buy the 998r
1/ because when you open your garage your bike will not have to grow on you or anyone else
2/ because it was missing off the Ducati stand this year and so were most of the punters
3/ because the japs are coming this year and Franky coming with them.
(He’s an old git who didn’t win but he still cries when he duz)
4/ because it’s the work of a design genius employed by the Ducati factory
(You can see his latest work at MV)
5/ because every sports bike on the market has become a poor imitation of the original 916 design
6/ because Ducati may have to kick-start sales high’s of the nineties with changes of design to create a bike that evokes the shear joy of opening the garage door and seeing your one.
7/ because you don’t have to change with the times, you can ride the times that you liked
8/ because if you need more riding equipment than the 998r you need a sponsor
