So What To Do With Pierre?
Mr. Terblanche's (sp?) efforts at Ducati have been controversial to say the least. And unfortunately a lot of hatred is vented towards his little dog as well. The Sportclassic line, from what I've read, is Pierre's doing as well. And to say the least, they are freaking sweeeeeet. So where does the jury stand on Pierre and his Ducatis.
I liked the 999 when I saw it in person far more than the magazine images.
I loooove the weirdo Multistrada.
The new STs may be better performers, but the bike's head fairing looks like it has a throbbing headache.
The Sportclassic line ROCKS!
Ducati has become a weird, interesting, and better performing. BUT, outside of the Sportclassic, Ducatis don't stir anything within me. The 916/996/998 was an emotional experience.
Oh, I almost forgot, I don't care for the Monster line. So I pretend they don't exist. You may choose to see them. I don't.
