So you have to remove the exhaust to get the belt covers off? Yikes. No thanks.

Those covers will come off with the exhaust on. You could drive a truck between the pipe and the covers. If a tech tells you otherwise he is either lying or not very good.
I am not saying it will be easy like the older style but it can be done.
It's really important to see the bike in the flesh, because it's a lot meaner and "Brutale" than in the photos, more of a Monster, really !
I still can't decide if I like it or not, but I think I will once I ride it.
Servicing should be simple, and it's NOT designed by Terreblanche. ("phew !")

its ok, I guess I like the head lamp but that is struggling, as I said its ok, I am sure it will look better in person, I am waiting for it to grow on me as the 1098 did,..... still waiting!

I'm thinking you should just drive the truck over the bike and be done with it... the bike is lame. the styling, or lack of it, is lame. oh so lame for ducati to copy a cagiva & buell... so lame that steven hawkins is a world champion sprinter... so lame that john cleese can't even make fun of it. did i say it was lame? i hope it's fast because i don't want it to burn into my retinas, that's how lame it is. jesus could heal a leper, but the leper that rides that thing will always be lame. laaaa-ame. lame-a-rama. lame-a-ra-maringo. lame-o. oh so terreblame.
the rider of that thing should join www.monster.org and be one with the lameness.
my girlfiend laughed at it.... said she'd rather ride a vespa.
