OK, just out of curiosity, but likely not out of originality, what does everyone think of the new superbike?

i like it ... of course i like the 999 as well. i think you should get one ...
I got a chance to look it more close today. Love what they did with the swing arm. There is no other bike in this category that comes close to the style of the ducati superbikes. There something there that make you say thats a nice bike.

I got to this from this link.
I like the bike but I think I like this one better.

I put down deposits on two.

That way I can let others race me. [thumbsup]

(Not you Dave, you have to bring your own.)


Seriously though, I think the thing looks amazing.

I don't understand these guys that seem like nothing that was released could've satisfied them.
I was on the fence for a while, but I've some around. I really like it.
The projection bulb area (guessing that's what it is) that causes the small circular area to stick out from the bottom really sets the front end up nicely for me. I never really cared for the "slit" headlights until they added that one little change, now it's much more appealing to my eyes.

I'm with you on that one.

I like the shape of the lights a lot.
I think it's a bit on the pointy side. But, I'm a firm believer that's just due to the photo. I'll reserve full judgement until I see one in person.

Otherwise, I like it. Well, for a faired bike.

All you have to do is stuff it under a parked car and it won't have fairings anymore. [thumbsup] [cheeky]

Nahh, my bike came out with the fairing still on. All that did was pull off one of the reflectors. And, I was gonna do that anyway, eventually. [cheeky]

Man...I just used some string and WD-40 to get those off. You're hard core.
