Seriously though, from what I have heard they are a good bike, only way to find out is to ride one I guess...!

Depends....

If you're a dry-weather-only rider and can afford the servicing costs, then go for it. They're supposed to be really good bikes, according to the reviews.

If you require reliable, all-weather transport, then look elsewhere.

Hmm, from Katie to Catti? From what I've heard it's the sort of bike that rides better than it appears from a styling point of view.

Must say tho, it looks really good in black.

I think our own Pedro H will testify to Ducati's improved build in recent years. No worries there compared to Katie, don't you think?
