So do Harleys.

I never realized the RC45 faithful were also the Rossi faithful but it makes sense now, aged racer well past its prime still defended by the faithful with endless comparisons to the modern superior ...

Just joking BLS.

No offense but you're completely missing the point of this particular exchange as well. Sorry!

over the top... all this complexity just to match the simple V4...

i swear that i will never buy a V4 motorcyle for the simple fact that a bunch of you guys on here are wacko's.

Real Univentful

how many GP wins does ducati have in say the last 15 years including the 990, 800, and 500 cc???

dood, the uninventful comment came from ducati fielding the same lump for 10 years. if it wins i guess.

it is funny how you tout the ducati cup as some measuring stick? they raced against each other for WSBK championships for a few years recently and i still don't think there is a 100% backed HRC ride and what about full yamaha support and suzuki for several years?

the 51 did well enough to beat the duke and then the tire rule, Honda left and then ducati started winning again, hardly a thing to brag about
