Yes Phil. The BMW and the RSV4 beat it. It does manage however to beat the new SP Blade. But it gets hammered for no bottom end. Which for me is news I want to know. Its bottom end that I like most and what Ive come to expect from a ducati. The punch out of corners etc. Hodgson says its like a 2 stroke and needs to be kept revving. Which would eliminate amateurs like me. :smile: Oh and its BMW News again.
Would like to see it from some other angles. The biggest problem to me is the newly created disparity between the bulbous side panels and the tiny tail. The exhaust covering also hides what is a very neat design feature. On the other hand the area around the headlight seems improved. I guess you pays your money.....
