I can only agree. It's made of lots of bits which are lovely on their

The USD forks just look wrong, and the massive gap between rear wheel
and seat doesn't work either.

FFS, Ducati, get it right.

Draw a line under the tank, throw everything underneath it away and it
starts to look OK.

Even Jean didn't like it ... in fact it was she who likened it to an MZ
