I apologize if you feel that I did not propose a coherent debate. I have insufficient command of the English language to outline it more clearly and more simply. Perhaps you could help me ask the question in better English? I would appreciate that.
Over the Years probably various models, as for now days Multistrada, but the Diaval, and Scrambler has had a huge impact on boosting sales, at the same time a huge impact on after sales service, they are losing Customers now because of poor after sales service, regarding warranty issues, and actually servicing time delays this has added on big increases in service costs as well over the last 2 years imo.
If anyone reading your message gets offended it's not a big problem! LOL. Sorry, but facts don't care about feelings!
and GS riders, they seem to hate me. They shake their heads a lot, but I think that's a different thing.
I'm new here, so I tread lightly and respectfully. But my original post is a legitimate question that actually spurred from a conversation I had with my wife (Russian) and her girl friends who know nothing about bikes. I was commenting on a thread suggesting to the OP to not sell his 998R when one of the girls, who knew nothing about bikes, asked me what kind of brand was Ducati. I had just enough time to Google one image of one Ducati bike to describe the whole marque and I googled the 998. We then begun wondering about Lamborghini cars, Riva boats, etc... and which model defined each brand better.

I wouldn't bother, subtlety is wasted on this lot... Most Ducati? Panigale 899 / 1199 / 1299 916 / 748 / 996 / 998 Supersport 900 (91 - 97) 851 / 888 MHR '74 750 SS Mach 1
Epitomise ! That's the word that i was looking for! The thread title should be: Which Ducati better epitomizes the brand? Thanks for helping me with my English language challenges! Can I change the title?
Ferrari: Testarossa? Are you mad? out of all the pretty Ferrari's you chose that?; that wide as a bus mess? Its the Ferrari Fuglistrada. You were doing so well with the 1st two as well. Or did you mean the 1957 Testa Rossa? Personally the 250GTO wouldve been a safer choice considering they sell for excess of £50M.
But would someone with a passing interest in cars recognise them as the icons they are? That's why I said the Testarossa as I guess most people would tag it as a Ferrari. Me, I would go for the last of the analogue Ferraris, an F40.
