Hmmmm....I always thought that losing the top vents would make it look better. Maybe it does in the flesh ('cos the Casoli bike at the NEC show a couple of years back looked better without them), but in the ducati.com gallery photos the front end looks a little slabby now...I think it's the big block of unbroken red on the nose. I reckon it would be the biz with a number board to break it up a touch.
