As for the Market forces and prices.... well if i were to be harsh, that's because Ducati are Iconic machines, and their label is what people pay for, not the performance or the bike. |
See, this post I have no problem with at all. It lays out your opinion but allows for the differences of others.
The last point is fair enough but you can't correlate performance directly to price. Firstly, how do you define performance? Is it outright power? Is it the torque curve? Is it the way it goes around corners? Then there are the other intangibles like riding position, noise, etc.
A more interesting question is why do 9X6/8's cost so much more than 748's? I remember seeing a site somewhere (might be Ducatitech) that said that they thought they should cost pretty much the same to make.
ps back on topic - Paul, go for it!
