By that time i’ll know what to look out for (cam belts, electrics etc etc 
)
First impressions! If a book by its cover should be judged, then it’d be heavy, cumbersome, and unwieldy.
The reality, I guess, would be far different. Need to see one in the flesh.
I like it!
Apparently it’s got a 240 section rear tyre! :w00t: I’ve never been into cruiser/muscle type bikes like the Triumph Rocket but the Ducati take on the concept is proper cool.
Although to be honest it’s more like a Brutale than a Rocket.
I wasn’t that sure of the headlight cowling or rear number plate holder when I first saw it. The more I see it though, the more I think it is beautiful (a strong word I know). I think it looks like a speed triple after a lot of custom work. Muscular and heavy looking but obviously you know its got 160bhp to back it up.
With a back tyre that size, I guess it’ll be ideal for the yanks who can’t do corners.
Having seen it at the bike show it’s all those plus tacky & ugly, but I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :sick:
I gather the advertising slogan is “Here at Ducati we’ve spent years giving you lithe & beatiful, but in the interests of inclusivity, here’s one especially for all you chubby chasers…” 
Lol! yeah I guess we’ll all have to see it in the metal before we can make our minds up.
