Doesn't loyalty work both ways, no sooner do they bring out the 998 with the Testastretta engine then they remove it from sale. When was the last time Ducati marketed a bike for only a year, was this in fact a ploy to force those looking to buy a new Ducati on to the 999. And where has the low seat hight model gone, the early Monsters offered shorter riders a chance to own a Ducati, these were replaced with heavier higher machines. maybe Ducati should look at their own market research department and ask a few questions. |
