^ What he said.

Extremely cool, but I was expecting a six-foot swingarm, knobbies, and a dirt bike fork....

the exbox-bellypan transition is seamless looking, very well done.

Just because someone spent hundreds of hours on a bike doesn't mean it's beautiful.

That's easily one of the top 5 most repulsive bikes I've ever seen.  There's nothing 'thought out' or harmonious about it.  I wonder if custom Ducatis are becoming the next chopper trend.

Compare these to the 'Hillclimber' and I don't think that bike measures up at all.

meh.   i hate some of the lines on the radical bikes though.  like the often ridiculously positioned seats and droopy front fairing.

IDK, man. I think your taste and my taste are way different.

The only bike I really liked out of those is the blue one.


I think that hill climb bike is waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy nicer.

and for what it's worth...I hate choppers.

agreed.   aesthetics is very personal.      every model and modified model below the SBK Factory Corse/Corsa/RS models (996RS, 998RS, 999RS, 1098RS) are a bit "tame" and "pedestrian" in one vein (that means all the showroom models essentially... just the limited/specials like the Supermono and MH900e beyond the factory race bikes), but then again I very much understand the thought process "i sure do like cafe-bobbers, but I do loathe the lackluster performance of the traditional triumph power plant and don't like the setup of a harley-type v-twin.... what platform would be more fun to have at the center than a ducati?"
