Default Ducatista

Am I the only one who thinks some of the new Ducati's look like crap? I'm sure they are fast and handle well, but looks have to account for something. Especially that Diavel Strada. It looks like a V-Max and Ducati had an ugly love child.

As you probably know, I like the look and feel of older bikes. There's a beautiful Ducati 750 Paso in Colorado for only $2,700: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ducat...item2ec4efc3f8

Here's a short retrospective on the 750 Paso: http://www.ridermagazine.com/style/v...-1986-1988.htm

I remember seeing a red Paso several decades ago. The red fairing, red windscreen and red leathers the rider wore were a memorable sight. If I saw a Diavel on the street now, I'd forget it in an instant.
