I think Ducati deserve a pat on the back for building this. It fills a niche we didnt know existed and probably wont ever sell in vast quantities.

Ive riden with a couple and I must say if I was in the market for a cruiser with attitude this would get my money. Its design and build are stunning it sounds and looks the business. Photos just dont do it justice. Why buy a Harley when you could own this?

Im just not quite sure when I would ride it, but then I guess this bike would provide the perfect excuse to find pointless journeys!
