Hey Sparkin

I'll take you up on that ............ now if you'll just pass the joint!!
No honestly, no matter how loud and deep your bike is, and my SP5 is pretty fruity, it doesnt sound different anymore, just louder and deeper than most other twins. Personally I prefer the sound of a race piped TL1000, but a race piped V4, well that's not something you hear everyday.
A lot of people buy Duke's to have something different, and to be honest, is'nt that the lasting appeal of the 888? Whereas the 916 etc is guilty of it's own success. I don't think I like the idea that Ducati is now a massive brand - the amount of trinketry that you can now buy for your bike is reminiscent of that other american gravy-train "Hardly Worthitson".
Does anybody else share this view, or have you all picked up your chosen weapon???
