Hard not to like a Ducati. No one does style like the Italians. I've never ridden a Ducati, but I wouldn't turn a ride down if offered.
Saw a beautiful one at a bar we stopped at on our Lake ride. Don't know what model it was because I couldn't get close enough to it. Everyone was crowded around it. Couldn't imagine a bike being more out of place, though. Those roads are no place for a Ducati of any type. But the guy wanted some attention I guess. Hope he had ice for his pills when he got back home.

The Ducati is pure road sex, though I admit it does not have overly friendly ergos for any significant distance riding... then again, long-distance riding wasn't among the design criteria, no doubt...
Dunno why, but the Ducati 750 Dark has always gotten my attention...

I just ran across this.............................
DUCATI ANNOUNCES NEW 2007 DUCATI 1098 SUPERBIKE FAMILY
Cupertino, CA (November 8, 2006) - Ducati North America announces the international launch and North American pricing for the new 1098 Superbike.
This incredible new machine produces 160hp and 90.4lbs/ft of torque, which results in making the 1098 the most powerful twin-cylinder motorcycle in the world, with the highest torque-to-weight ratio of any sport bike. In addition, the 1098 is also the lightest open class Superbike available, weighing 381 pounds.
The priority in every step of the 1098 development has been performance first.
Every system, every detail and every component has been studied and pared down to its essence in order to increase performance to the maximum. If it didn’t make the 1098 lighter, faster or deliver quicker lap times, it wasn’t considered.
The 1098 will be available in three versions starting in February. The 1098 Biposto will carry a manufacturers suggested retail price of $14,995. The 1098 S will be priced at $19,995, while the limited edition 1098 S Tri-Colore will be $24,995. The 1098 S Tri-Colore will feature a evocative red, white and green racing livery and a Termignoni performance exhaust system, among other performance enhancements.
Prices in Canada will be $19,995 for standard version, while the 1098 S will be $24,995 and the Tri-Colore will be $29,995.
"We are very pleased to announce not only a radical new Superbike family, but also a brand new competitive pricing structure. We have worked very long and hard to make this happen, and we are excited to introduce this motorcycle to the American public at the Seattle round of the International Motorcycle Shows, which happens December 1-3,” said Michael Lock, CEO of Ducati North America.

I've always had a BIG problem with that moron TPG put in charge of design...
But I'll admit the shiny '05 black 999 is very.... eyecatching...
Be it as it may, I'll keep my 1992 851, TVM!! If as rumour has it, they replace the 749 with a new 851, with closed ratio gearbox and all the Ohlins goodies.... reasonably priced.... I'll think about it....
