Verrrry fun bike. The only downside is that it is a Ducati. Ducacti have become the sportbike equivilant of HD. Marketing every scrap of gear and such for the owners to pose at the local starbucks.
If you want a reliable, nekid Italian toy check out a Aprilia Tuono all the fun, without the toolbag owners attitude. (I know several duc owners and they play up this stereotype for fun, but the duc forums affirms it exisits)
A nice tuono for ya
