That bike has terrible lines...it's just UGLY! I'm not talking about the paint, it's just not an attractive motorcycle. It has an oddly square appearance to me.
From that angle it is, indeed, hideous. And thats from somebody that owns two Suzukis (k9 GSXR1000, Kizashi)
Ducati has given their bike the sensation of speed, even when its not moving...............perhaps thats why Vale feels that he's getting the job done when its still on its race stands
