Sorry, I'm kind of partial to the new ones...

That's not to say I don't love the 1990's Monsters and, at one time, if I had bought a Ducati it would have been a Supersport 800.
I've heard that before... that the 916/996 is the "true" Ducati or the "epitome" of Ducati. Bullshit. WTF is the true Ducati? What is a Ducati "supposed" to look like? So you want to produce the same bike for 40 years? The old Ducatista say that because that's what they grew up wanting/ couldn't afford.
