No thanks. Let em trailer their 1098s to Starbucks. Makes em easier to spot and keep the hell away from.
Sorry to be such a grouch but newbs (not all of 'em, by a long shot) have killed a marque I loved.

Considering the 851 / SS SAVED Ducati from extinction in the late 80's, I'd say it's a worthy cause. You sound like the guy who's favorite local band got discovered and sold out.
So good for Ducati, they're selling some bikes, they are still a niche brand, just with a few more old guys
