The tri-colore actually looks pretty damn nice. I will wait for the 'R'.

... I don't get it  That does not look nearly as good as I was hoping. The proportions are all "off" IMO. Mirrors are snaggle-tooth long and slender and the front is WAY to long compared to that tiny little rear section. It may handle well, but it doesn't look right. Maybe the images are just distorted because they're taken of a magazine?

I totally agree with you. It seems like its front heavy. The dash does look pretty sweet. Maybe some kind of OLED display. Mirrors are busted! Exhaust needs replacement ASAP!

should make for a good race bike, but the balance and proportions of the body work and flow of the design do not work together...
but like the fighter... Ducati seems to be able to sell a lot of these ugly new designs... perhaps it's me... but i was hoping that the photo shop pics were off... looks like they were pretty close...
still want to see it in person, but for 20 grand?.. hmmm....
like Stoner said last year.. Honda's looking good...

That thing was built for nothing more than to beat the competition at the race track like a rented mule. Period. Gheez' does that thing have some huge radiators!
