Yesssssss.

Won't be affording that for years to come though. At some point I might have to decide between tuning mods to the STI or getting a bike like that...

Looks a bit too Fireblade to me. Fireblade with a MV Agusta ass and Kawi R6 side profile.

OK look, but not so original as we have come to expect from Ducati. Sales are struggling and they are playing it safe this time?

I think it looks much better than the 999, and I am glad to see the single sided swing arm back (purely a styling thing).

That said it's still no 916-996-998!

Martin's got it right - it reminds me too much of a Honda (and of that annoying commercial where the bike turns into Keanu Reeves or whoever).

I'm probably in the minority, but I like the 999's looks, and the prices on used ones are approaching reasonable. Hmm...

I have a well used stock seat for sale, if you are looking.
