Yeah, pretty much
I mean, I realize things have to change with the times, I just can't say I care for the way they chose to go stylistically.
Performance (and cost wise) they're still very much what they've always been, but when someone says "Ducati", my mind conjures up an image of a 916 or an older Monster, not a Panigale, Diavel, or just about anything else they make now. Sure, that could be because it's what I saw when I first found out what a "Ducati" even was, but that's how we develop our tastes.
