all but the rear plate holder that is
i will take it back i just seen the front of it

the back end looks nice the fron looks like a crock of poooooooo
I saw a couple at a Duc dealer. Ugly! Doesn't even look like a duc, more like some crap HD would put out.
Don't be ashamed of what you like..Just look at some of the characters on here..
I don't think it looks that bad but you still wouldn't see me on one.

I did however ride one for 20 mins a few weeks ago. It does turn in initially quite well but it's not long before you notice the 240 rear tyre. The noise it makes off the throttle was probably the highlight for me.

Add these to the old saying about fat birds and mopeds ' fun to ride if no one sees you do it'
I really like it.
Its exactly what I want: I've tried the Rocket III and its fun but got no ground clearance whereas the Ducati goes, handles and stops AND has massive ground clearance.
According to Carl Fogarty's Tweets he seems to like it and be very impressed.
I think they'll depreciate like a grand piano falling off a 14 storey building so they'll make an excellent buy in a couple of years time.
No way I'm paying £14k for a cruiser no matter how well it handles or goes.
hideous, the equivalent of a bee hive hair doo or a paisley tie, just a fashion item, i've seen harley owners eyeing off my S4R but reality kicks in when they try it on for size, ducati now has a bike for middle aged born again bikers with more money than sense, and no amount of prepaid waffle by fogarty will convince anyone who rides a real ducati to buy one...........i hope
