Dare I say "I like it" because I do...   


I'll be test riding one in the future for sure. It looks mean and powerful.

This is funny.....taken from the comments on the page

you know what it is... it looks too heavy... the 2v air cooled would lighten the look more.

Obviously those would be first to go.

RAM air makes it go faster!!



Looks like Buell..my first thought as well Dave!

Well, the buell market share is untapped right now... so I guess it's a good idea?


Still though,  like it for some odd reason.

Imagine it modified...... remove the shitty crap (that's redundant) and make it look badass... I think there is a LOT of potential for this bike.

I'm NOT a closet harley enthusiast!!!!

I'm not sure if I like it...that's really all I can say...

OK OK, it needs work.

remove the ram air, remove the things below the ram air (led deposits for blinkers??), change the exhaust, remove that stupid looking headlight cowl thing and you have a pretty cool looking bike.

The trellis frame is looking more and more vestigial.  I assume it connects to the steering head, but it looks like it was just copied, and pasted into the side of the bike.
I don't understand the point of doing a SSS if you are going to cover up the pretty side with the exhaust.  The ugly exhaust.

No need to defend your opinion Veloce we all like what we like....and really, it's "ok" if you're a closet Harley lover!!

wow -- even the color scheme looks familiar to my DesmoDevil!

I can't wait to do photoshoots when the Diavel is in the Northwest in the red/dark color combination.

So who is going to ship one to my shop?  I have some really cool ideas to cleanup the look of Ducati's version...
