Actually I agree with you, if they had stuck with the single sided swing arm I may have been tempted years ago

Have to say, they all look stunning - I'd quite happily have any one of those 3.....

You need to get down to Redhill on a saturday. You'd be surprised how evolution is changing people.

I am going the other way (hehe) I really liked it the moment I saw it, now the exhausts, swingarm and heat shield are making me stop and think.

It would be very, very sad to be hoping Ducati have tried to get to right, but everyone else thinks they have it wrong....

You'd change the exhausts and the heatshield anyway wouldn't you?

A nice carbon number ...

I don't mind the swingarm, but I can see one getting powdercoated/painted/whatever'd in black.

I LOVE the headlight and air intake look, gives me a woody

Did I mention the 90lb/ft torque? It'd go like STINK!
