It would appear that no matter what Ducati try to achieve they get criticism from all quarters. The people who write for Bike Magazine complain that the Sport 1000, which after all is based on a 70's cafe racer, has an extreme riding position putting you in a fully prone forward lean as you stretch to hideously low ,wide, clip on bars, and the only way to see where you are going is to tip your head up!
They are so clever these people they even advise us that these bikes are no good on motorways!
Ducati also make bikes which enable us to ride in comfort on motorways and they even provide us with sit up and beg riding positions if we so desire.
Our journalist experts however, attack these models for being too slow or lacking in BHP.
I believe that for a little outfit Ducati perform very well and they produce some wonderful road bikes.

Are these the same journalists who have been telling us for years that the only bikes worth having are the ones which force you into that very same position

They must be getting old or something.
