Default New Ducati Panigale

I'm very undecided about the new superbike Ducati have brought out, I dunno if its a looker or Ducati have stolen Hondas ugly stick. The seat unit just reminds me of the old ZX-10.

What do you guys think of it?

Horizontal shock could be interesting. Not the best pics IMO looks as if its been dropped lol Some of the lines just don't make sense!

The tank looks like one of those skullcaps the jews wear,slapped on top as an afterthought.But Im not in the market for one so who cares what I think.

I really can't make my mind up whether I like it or not. If I was into sports bikes I'd prefer to spend my hard earned on one of these.

My personal view is that Ducati lost their way styling wise after the 916/996 bikes. Dynamically I'm sure this is one helluva bike, more than I would need or use, so this kind of bike would be bought on looks if I were in the market. In that case it would be an Aprilia RSV4 APRC for me.



Wibble!
