re: “but what am I missing?”

nothing. it’s a racebike first, a consumer product second is all. the fact that we john q. citizen have the luxury of even buying it at all is the icing on the cake.

Yikes – this thread got ugly fast! Just to be perfectly clear, I am not disparaging the rider as he has about the same form as I do.. I just think that Ducati – while their bikes are top notch – sizes them a bit on the small side. Could anyone over say 6FT/225lbs honestly ride that little thing for more than an hour before cramping up? Now – don’t get mean here.. but what am I missing?

NAAAH, all I see is perfectly natural HUMAN BEHAVIOR…humans love to rip each others apart for the heck of it…is no secret, just step out of your house or even safer…just turn ON the TV.

Amazin – I absolutely agree with you. I’d like to see what those ultra-critical “perfect specimens” look like in real life…. instead of what they look like in their own simple minds. I’m going to bet that they’re not as perfect as they think.
As far as the bike, it’s a Ducati and will be amazing, especially when all the camo is taken off it. And the rider is one lucky guy to be a test rider for Ducati. Maybe that’s why all the immature comments – jealousy!

Wow. There’s a lot of a-holes here. Instead of productively commenting on that undoubtedly spectacular machine, you choose to pad your own insecure egos by trying to tear the man down. Why don’t you tear down women with breast cancer, and autistic children while you’re all at it as well.

Funny how at 59 years of age, you are so insecure, vain and disparaging of others. Did your **** shrink with your belly!?

At age 59 I decided to double my daily exercise regime, give up beer, wine and alcohol altogether, and eat really healthy food. One year later I’d lost ten lbs. and feel good about my self image. Thanks for publishing the picture of the porker on the little red scooter. I look at that and realize that staying healthy is worth the effort. Oh yeah, the bike is a loser too.

Haa, funny how the others failed to mention or notice it before. It does look like it “unloads” RIGHT ON the legs.

The bikes are shrinking because they can. Manufacturers are getting better at the packaging thing and a smaller bike is faster on the track. It’s too bad they don’t come in sizes..
