Well, I've considered you're request, and I'm feeling generous:

nah... SV's are quicker. And more beautiful too

£37-!!
I could have Ghost Riders uber fast carbon fibre gixer thou for that and still have enough change for ice cream and crisps!

I think it looks a little bland, it doesn't look...special enough.

Not £37,000 worth of special that's for sure, perhaps it's better in the flesh - I hope so.

Sid...When you are THAT special....you dont need to shout about it by adopting ridiculous vogue shaping and colour schemes.

That bike is pure function over fashion and a damn good looker too.

Razor...If that is what you want to call it fella. The thing is...you cannot apply the same rationale when considering buying a machine like the Desmosedici as what you would use to picking say a Fireblade. To do so just so completely misses the point.

That bike is all about because...because of what it is, because of how it was conceived and yes because those people who have queued up to buy it in droves so far....can afford it.

If the price of that bike would be felt by me the same as the amount I coughed for my 749S...I would buy one tomorrow. Unfortuantely at this time the price is out of reach for me. That does not though see me look for reasons to down value the bike.

function? Ducati? in the same sentence? thought that was a contradiction - I thought they were designed to be fashion accessories and function fitted around that

:P

Sorry but I still fail to be impressed by Ducatis. And for £37k - well I could get at least 4 decent looking bikes for that amount

So when did Ducati fix the problem of the side stands that flipped up automatically?

:P
