    Yuck!



    Is it just me, or does this make you say "yuck!"?

    What's the deal with that box they call an exhaust? Bring back the 916 stylings, if you ask me

    Yea have to agree. That back end just isn't right. The rest of it is ok though I wish they would have stayed with the older nose styling like this one.

    You guys on fucken Drugs or something, if you cant appreciate Ducati styling how can you appreciate motorcycles in general ?
    Ducati are amongst the most influental stylers of motorcycles in the world, ie the 916 the 999.
    I accept it may not be everyones cup of tea but how can you say Yuck and say such things.
    Line this bike next to yours and which would you expect people to ogle over ??

    Sheeeeeessssshhhhh
    Ive run out of fucks to give

    Wha't I'm saying at least is that compared to the absolute beauty that is the 916/996/748, I think that Ducati have let themselves down.

    It's not our fault you have a sexy beast of a bike!

    I agree wholeheartedly, I reckon the best looking Duck after the green frame, round case 750SS was the 916, now thats classic styling. All the later ducks esp the 900SS hark back to Ducatis glory days , that bought us such trajedys as jellymold tanks etc

    HA!! If I wanted a bike purely for looks no matter the price I might get a duc or a hog but why spend all that when you can get a jap bike that has the same abilities at half the price? I don't buy a bike becouse it's popular I buy a bike becouse I like it. Personality mate everyone has thier own and I'll be damned long before I let the fad rule mine.

    They couldn't afford to pay the designer to finish the rear. And, isn't it funny that people think that because it's got a Duc badge it's gorgeous.

    Hey, it's a bike, it looks good. It's a racer so I'd never buy it (Ducati price-tag doesn't enter into it) and the exhaust box looks different, but that doesn't stop me admiring the look of the thing. Only bikes I think look ugly are some of the Buells with the bulbous black wart on the side of the engine - but even then they're still bikes.

    Now, if it had a roof, two extra wheels, doors, steering wheel - then it would start looking "yuck"

    I think Ducati is trying to distingush themselve from the Japs by designing a bike very different.

    I remember posting a thread before about whether people liked the new or just past models.

    Most said they liked the older model.

    Now the front end is OK. But the back end is a piece of sha-ite.
