Too Terblanche. :P I like the older 900SS bikes better. My devalued two cents.

Pierre confused "trendy" with "style".
RESULT: Brief polarizing success doomed to FAIL over time.

I think either the Terblanche era Supersport or his Multistrada was the epitome of this process.

Much like taking in a fine meal, once Pierre "digested" the concept at hand, the result was predictable...

There's a little bit too much "curvy" in the numbers+pipes+bellypan.

I get seasick looking at it now that you said that  :-X :P :-X

I'm Facebook friends with Radical Ducati and those guys down there are off the hook! The name is true to form. Just wish I could...

Damn you John for starting this thread!!

I don't agree, I think they are both equally sexy.  Some of us like curves   [moto]
Can we thin the gene pool?

i like curves, but perhaps the numbering and the belly pan that don't flow for me.

I like curves as much as the next guy, but form must follow function, or it's just drivel:

1969 Scrambler (450 “Jupiter”), 2005 MTS 1000DS, 2007 Monster S4RS, 2010 MTS 1200S Touring, 2018 Monster 1200R, 2021 Monster 937+

Never seen the Vyrus/Tesi before?

But I don't understand the top bike, which has what looks like an oil cooler behind front wheel (fine and dandy) but also a radiator mounted low on the side (don't low side!) - It appears to be a radiator and has blue tubing and bent tubing, but notice, the alternator side cover is an air-cooled and not watercooled side. So its appears not to be based on an ST2 water-cooled motor, and not sure what pumps the coolant?  Perhaps its a secondary oversized oil cooler, but the line size seems wrong. Something has to disperse the heat on a 984, that's for sure.

If a DFWMer was interested in this, I bet very inexpensive transport could be arranged. Just sayin'... ;D

I assume that you have credentials for operating such machinery?  [leo]
