Come on now, I'm not that much younger than you. That's why I said the closest one to date.
- just making sure you are not giving up on the Japs.

Ducati has taken itself from being the "real mans bike" of the 70's to a poser piece of trash outside Starbucks in the last 10 years.

They have simply cashe din ont he "boutique" nature of the brand and for that reason I dislike them immensly - I mean just how many "1 of a couple hundred" so-called limited editions can they come iup with - it is getting so predictable now - the only reason people are drooling all over this new hunk of crap is because it "looks cool"...

What ever folks - it is simply a street bike based on a racing chassis - that is NOTHING new at all

The last Ducati I would consider owning is the 888... everything after that is packaged to appeal to poser crowd. And their racing success hasn't been much better
