    I wonder what reaction I'll get if I sell my GSXR as a "Ducati GSXR600".
    Heaven forbid you should find out about Velcro, Lux (or Hoover) and a gazillion other products that have been given a generic name over time...

    Ask anybody not involved and all there are JetSkis, Hondas, Harleys, Nifty Fiftys. Ducatis as sports bikes, are like Holden and Fords as racing sedans, only any good when the rules are twisted to favour them.
