Hi, my name is Robert, and you suck at photoshop.

Here is the 696 Light assembly.



This bike looks slow and droopy

That is the worst angle for the bike, and the worst color for looking thick.

[bang] Why would you ruin that nice photochop with such a horrid suggestion?         
Don't post when you're drunk.  ;D


Yah, actually, I repent  :-X (even though I hadn't been drinking).

Neither one looks quite right...maybe that's why they came up with the robo-headlight.

Curses!  This bike SHOULD be able to look good.  What's the missing ingredient?

-RaceTech Gold Valve suspension F/R
-Precious little else because I like what Ducati came up with

It actually DOES look good.  What we can't reconcile is admitting that it looks good and that it looks like a Z1000, KTM, or Brutale.  It hurts our Ducati pride.

The studio pics in black are absolutely awful and doesn't really show the bike, the red and pearl white pics are far better at showing the bike

I agree. What's up with the black background? It makes it hard to see any detail in the bike, and hard to tell where you can see through. Seeing through the bike is an important part for a monster

the bike just looks so heavy...

ducati's tend to look more "dense" because they are short and narrow and more stuff gets crammed closer together.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

it will be interesting to see what it would look like without the shroud behind the lower rad

i am now the proud owner of 'first on the list' for a red base model at my local dealer. can't wait.

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here, this is the War Room.

There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man.  The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self. And in bacon.

Its missing class  ;)

When are we going to see this bike in the stores? I don't think any pictures can quite capture the complete beauty of a Ducati.

Three things standout that are a real eye sore on this bike ...the humped gas tank, the wide seat/seat cowling, and the mirrors.   Its visually imbalanced and doesn't flow at all.  The seat, gas tank, and mirrors look like a last minute change as well as a feeble attempt to make it Ducati unique.   The seat is a contradiction to the name Street Fighter ...it looks more fitting for geriatric cruising than it does for street fighting.

Um.. do you mean the superbike tank and superbike seat/rear?  The original streetfighters were stripped superbikes.  :-\
