Mood: the rain in spain falls mainly on me!
they are made quieter by ducati by having a full casing put on them.
they really should be run with an open casing as it will keep it cooler also get rid of all the dust.
it will obviously be noisier but that is part of the ducati 'charm' and as you say does make them look very trick.
