Those things always look like a BMW to me.

its .........................FUGLY

Rode that exact model today. One of my race team sponsers has just taken delvery and as it was a cracker day down here in canterbury today.. he kindly told me to go put some km,s on it.

What an awesome bike. The most comfortable bike ive ever ridden. And so much grunt. Bloody good fun on the twisties too.
Only faults are the limited ground clearence to the pegs, cos you attack every corner like you are on a sportsbike.
It was only in touring mode and low levels of DTC ........ as it only had 600k,s on the clock.
Gonna have to have another ride when its run in........... go and embaress some race rep pilots on the akaroa highway........yeeeeeeha

If you can't afford it, don't post about it.

Looks like a fat Bimota Mantra to me.

Don't be such a killjoy!

But it's bound to be marginally more reliable.

You take that back!

No italian electrics on BMW, just good German engineering

They spelt Drivel wrong.

**HenryDorsetCase** · 12th July 2011, 16:21

I'd love to take one for a strop. Not too bad looking IMO

**ducatilover** · 12th July 2011, 17:19

That's.....different. I like the....carbon parts.
I wouldn't say no to it though.

F*cken Canty hoons!!

It'd be unfair to comment on looks alone but I haven't ridden it so I'll have to...
I don't like the look of it. It reminds me of a Yamaha MT 01 kinda. Don't like those big fat trumpets on the pipes either

To be fair I like Ducati's generally though - this one just looks ugly

You'll get 2 types of comment on this bike ... people who've seen pics and think it's ugly and people who've ridden it and think it's awesome.

I'm glad I can put myself in the 2nd group. I took one for a test ride in April and it was awesome indeed. If it wasn't for the price and the 4mth waiting list I'd probably have bought it instead of the 2011 zx10r (and I'd still have my license now :S).

The mat black looks a lot better than the carbon version in real life.
