Those are really cool looking but there are a lot of Speed Tripleish design elements. Check out the dual headlights, the fly screen, even the passenger footpeg hangers look familiar. I like it though, especially the dual sport looking one.

I like their designs a lot - a lot of Ducati styling influence there (maybe it's an Italian thing). And unlike Benelli, I think they've got real Italians running the show.

The Corsaro looks like a cross between a Speed Triple and a Monster. Sharp bike!

When did "a bunch of Texans" buy Ducati?

I don't doubt it, but it might explain their success.


"MV Agusta which is now owned by Harley."
HA HA....
Cruiser MV or a Harley that handles and stops
Which will come first?
